Can you have a test for Down syndrome if you are 30 weeks' pregnant?

Yes, you can have an elective amniocentesis where they insert a needle into the womb and withdraw some fluid that contains cells from your baby. These cells can then be studied to examine the DNA in them to determine whether the baby has Down syndrome or not.
You should carefully consider what might happen if the result is positive. As you may be aware, you are in the third trimester and, in this late stage of pregnancy, many countries will not offer elective terminations past this date.
You should consult a qualified medical practitioner if you are concerned.
