These measures had been taken while the epidemic was advancing spectacularly in the United Kingdom, leaving France relatively preserved in the face of the Omicron wave. The already widespread distribution of the variant in both countries has led the Government to decide on the following adjustments.

The rules that apply from Friday 14th January 2022 for travel from the UK to France are as follows:

• All travelers, vaccinated or not, must initially submit a negative test (PCR or antigen test) within 24 hours.
• For vaccinated travelers, there is no longer the obligation to justify a compelling reason to come to France, nor the obligation to respect a period of isolation upon arrival on national territory. As such, the need to register, prior to travel, on the “ÉOS for passengers” digital platform is waived. Arrival checks can be carried out at arrival locations. In case of a positive result, the traveler will be placed in isolation.
• For unvaccinated travellers, travel from the UK is authorized subject to being able to justify a compelling reason valid for ‘red’ countries.

Unvaccinated UK travelers should continue to register, prior to departure, at the EOS digital platform for passengerswhich allows, in particular, to inform the address of your stay in France.

They must, upon arrival in France, observe a strict 10-day quarantine period in this place; this quarantine will be controlled by law enforcement.

In addition, vaccinated travelers are no longer required to justify a compelling reason to leave French territory for the United Kingdom.

The trip of unvaccinated travelers is authorized subject to being able to justify a compelling reason valid for “red” countries. In all cases, travelers wishing to go to the United Kingdom are invited to inquire before their departure about the conditions of entry in their country of destination.
