Effective since August 1, 2022, France has lifted all Covid-19 restrictions for travellers arriving into the country. Travellers do not have any formalities to complete before arriving into mainland or overseas France, and the COVID certificate is no longer required, irrespective of the country or area of origin.

Also, the proof of compelling reason for travel can no longer be requested. Moreover, travellers no longer need to present a sworn declaration stating that they are not infected with COVID-19 and need not pledge to take an antigen test or biological exam upon arrival into France.

“Faced with the new phase of the pandemic, the border health control system is lifted, in accordance with the law putting an end to the exceptional regimes created to fight against the epidemic linked to covid-19. Since August, the rules previously applied to travellers to France no longer apply,” the statement of the Ministry said.
