Update on entry into France

This is encouraging news. I wonder how frequently, and where people will need to show their proof of vaccination. Still a couple weeks before the unofficial July 1 vacation season (maybe it actually is official?) so good for tourists, and for the French tourism industry. If complications don’t develop, this’ll be a good influence for tourism everywhere.

You left off part of it:

Unvaccinated travelers must provide proof of a negative PCR or antigen test for Covid-19 performed within 72 hours prior to departure for France.
They are also required to carry a sworn statement attesting that they have no symptoms of Covid-19 infection and that they are not aware of any contact with a confirmed case of Covid-19 in the 14 days prior to travel.
The measures applying to vaccinated parents also apply to their accompanying minor children, whether they are vaccinated or not. Nevertheless, minors between 11 and 18 years of age must present a negative test if they are not vaccinated.

Thanks Celeste. I tried unsuccessfully to copy the entire link but couldn’t get it to work. I appreciate your mindfulness in adding the rest.

Does "sworn statement" mean notorized?

Proof of vaccination? Is our CDC card accepted by the EU?

Cala - No. The form is self explanatory and a link to it can be found on the US Embassy website.

Sandra..could you provide the link to the statement.

Great! Now waiting on Portugal and Spain to put US on their green list so I can go ahead with my trip.

Nestor, My understanding, the last I researched, was that all you need for Spain is a vaccination card. Am I wrong?

Nestor - Both Spain and Portugal allow US citizens. Go to each US embassy for the country of interest to find the most up to date requirements.

to answer your question I've asked the webmaster to look at your link, tonie

Nigel- :-D :-D :-D

I thought this link was a little clearer. It's difficult to tell what is "official" but I think they say the same thing. I followed the franceintheus.org update to the article here.

The sworn statement is not required for vaxxed travellers from a green country.

I wonder how frequently, and where people will need to show their proof of vaccination.

In France, anything you attend — music festival, sporting event, whatever — where there are 1,000 people or more in attendance.

This is wrong:

You left off part of it:
Unvaccinated travelers must provide proof of a negative PCR or antigen test for Covid-19 performed within 72 hours prior to departure for France.

That was a requirement when France categorized the U.S. as an amber/orange country.

Now that France categorizes the U.S. as a green country, vaccinated travelers do not need to provide a negative test.

As for the “sworn statement” - no, it does not need to be notarized.
