To cross the border, you must have your passport, printout of an electronic ticket, medical insurance policy, and hotel accommodation voucher. Suppose minor children without parents or with one parent are travel . In that case, it is necessary to have notarized permission from the parents issued in the name of the person accompanying the child. Suppose the child is traveling with one parent. In that case, we strongly recommend that you have such permission from the other parent and the original or a notarized copy of the birth certificate. When you travel alone, it is easier, because you need fewer documents! You have to read the general rules in the official country!

Got to the port was asked if vaccinated said yes and they gave us a bit of paper with a photocopied star on it. When we got to DFDS check in they asked for the bit of paper with star on that was it no proof of anything asked for. Went out 21/05/2022

No I went to a walk in centre in Leeds and got 24 hour guaranteed results. I used DAM health for my pcr. Was £50. Results arrived within 15 hours of doing the test via email and without any issue. However I wasn’t asked to produce any documentation at the port

Nowadays is pretty light to travel across Europe, just like before the pandemic. However, some States still impose some kind of measures. I know that France has been strict with its restrictions for the last two years. From what I recall, now you don't need any proof of vaccination to pass the border. However, I suggest visiting France's ministry of foreign affairs website for more details. When you arrive at your destination, I suggest visiting https://www.travelsafe-abroad.com/united-states/grand-junction/ to have a brief report about the city.

Went to France last week as an unvaccinated traveller. Got to the port and wasn’t even asked my covid status or to produce my negative pcr test certificate. They just waved us through. I was also travelling with a fully vaccinated friend and he wasn’t asked to show his nhs pass either. It’s all just a scam. The port was also really quiet.

No it’s all changed no we are no longer in the eu
Stories of families being turned away at airports because there was not enough time left on their passports
are being urged to check their passport meets EU rules.
Two travellers have told of being turned away from departure gates because their documents fell foul of the requirements.
It is an issue being made more urgent by delays in processing passport applications as demand for travel recovers following the COVID-19 pandemic.
The government website says passports must meet two requirements for those planning to visit an EU country (except Ireland).
They must be less than 10 years old - from the date of issue - on the day you enter your destination
They must remain valid for at least three months after you leave
For some countries in the Schengen travel area, however, your passport "may need to be less than 10 years old during your whole visit", the advice warns.

And the three months following the end of your visit "may need to be within 10 years of your passport's issue date".
The Schengen area comprises 26 EU countries which have abolished all passport and all other border controls at their mutual borders.
While the UK government says it is "asking the European Commission to clarify the 10-year rule", guidance for "Schengen border guards may not be updated until the spring of 2022".
One woman wrote on Facebook of her "crushing disappointment" after being "turned away at the departure gate for a flight to Tenerife because of an issue with my passport".
That was despite it not expiring "until March 2023".
And Ian Glover, 66, said he was turned away from a check-in desk at East Midlands Airport on 25 April because the issue date of his passport was not close enough to the end of his planned trip to Portugal.
He told Derbyshire Live: "They also want three months from the expiry of the date of issue. That's not being made clear at all."

Another thing to not overlook is your passport expiry date
I believe you no longer get the three months that’s left on your passport as we are no longer in the EU and I think you need 1 year

I believe that if you've not uploaded it prior to check in you'll be directed into the terminal to provide proof to someone inside. When I went last year this is what they were doing along with a reasonable queue to do so and that was early hours.

News like this was the best news we have heard since the complete lockdown started. Even if I didn't isolate myself too much, the activity around the city was very limited. I always had access to covid rapid testing, and it was very easy for me to travel and not limit myself too much. On top of that, I used this website https://www.centerofadvancedwellness.com/ which helped me with a lot of useful information. Not just about testing but also how to maintain my immune system very strong so as not to catch the virus very easily.

Yep, just came back from a trip. All you need is proof of jabs (nhs app) and passport. Only need proof of vaccination going out, nothing but passport coming back. Quite easy but took much longer to clear passport control at france end than it did prior to Brexit…p.s. do yourself a favour and save the QR code proof to your wallet or some other app in your phone prior to departure, lots of people struggling to get the nhs app to work at passport control which caused delays!

What reason did he give for essential travel???? Did he have tests before he went??
Unvaccinated Passengers
Unvaccinated passengers wishing to travel from the UK to France, will need to meet criteria defined by the French authorities that the travel is essential (supporting evidence will need to be presented at border controls). French nationals, as well as residents in France, are exempt. The full list of what constitutes essential travel is on the French Home Office website.
French health declarations
To enter France you must complete the following forms which can be found on the French Home Office website.
a "Sworn Statement" – is required for all passengers.
a "Travel Certificate to Metropolitan France" – is required for all passengers.
These must be completed for all passengers and presented digitally or printed to border control authorities.
If you meet the criteria to travel to France you will also need to do the following:
1. Negative COVID tests
All passengers over 12 years of age require a negative result from a non-NHS PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before travel or a non-NHS Antigen (lateral flow) test taken no more than 48 hours before travel (find a private test provider).
At French border controls you will need to present digital or paper evidence of the negative result from the private test provider.
2. Provide passenger details
Arrivals from the UK must provide contact details, including the address they will be staying at, to the French authorities via an online form. Important: ensure you select "Royaume-Uni" (United Kingdom) in the drop-down menu on this form as a country of origin.
Submit pasenger details on the "passenger eOS" platform
Quarantine
From 12 February 2022, travellers from the UK to France who are not fully vaccinated no longer need to self-isolate on arrival.
Travelling with minors (under 18)
We would advise that you check the requirements before travel via the French Consulate website. The requirements may vary dependant on whether the parents/guardians are vaccinated or unvaccinated. Visit uk.amberfrance.org for more information.
Upload your documents
Prior to travel, you can upload the required documents/results detailed above to your booking by logging into your account/booking and completing your declarations. Failure to do so will result in manual checks being required which will delay your departure.

I was In France 3 weeks ago and all i needed was proof of two jabs not the booster ! If i did need a booster to go , then i would not have gone over simple as that .... If you are using Eurostar make sure you download the two pdf's of your vaccine proof prior to arrival at Folkestone. There is a link at the bottom of the API form.
That saves you the hassle of having to go in to the terminal, and show your vaccine proof to get your wind screen pass on the train. Do the same obviously for your return from Calais ! I was surprised just how easy it was to get over there and fully expected hassle at the check points but no it was just like the old days !!
Hope this helps !

Time between 2nd jab and booster is irrelevant. If you have had the booster, you are considered fully vaccinated, as far as France is concerned. Just don't leave it till a week before, need to allow time for the NHS app to be updated with your booster jab. I heard it takes up to 2 weeks to update.

Proof of vaccination status
France will accept the UK’s proof of COVID-19 recovery and vaccination record at the border. The French government recognises any vaccination certificates which conform to the EU Digital Covid Status Certification framework, illustrating that you are fully vaccinated with a vaccine authorised by the European Medical Authority. This means your final vaccine dose must have been administered at least 7 days prior to travel for Oxford/AstraZeneca, Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna or 28 days after a second dose of Johnson & Johnson. For details on how to demonstrate your COVID-19 status in domestic settings in France, see the Coronavirus page. Your NHS appointment card from vaccination centres is not designed to be used as proof of vaccination and should not be used to demonstrate your vaccine status.
Travellers aged 18 and over who had their full vaccine course over 9 months ago and have not since received a COVID-19 vaccine booster must follow the rules for unvaccinated passengers to enter France (see below).

Are you still classed as fully vaccinated if you’ve had your booster jab more than 9 months after the second jab?
I’ve had both jabs but not the booster yet and have no plans on getting the booster. I’m going to France on the 23rd of July and was hoping the rules would change by then that the booster won’t be required but if nearer the time it’s still required then I’d begrudgingly have it done. I had my second jab on the 8th of July 2021 so only gives me 2 weeks to get the booster for it to be done less than 9 months after the second jab
I don’t really want the booster, but would have it a couple of weeks or so before my trip if it was still required but was wondering where that would leave me on being “fully” vaccinated

On the current rules, depends when you had your 2nd jab. I think if it's more than 5 months ago, you are not considered fully vaccinated. So if you had your 2nd jab before Feb this year, you will need a booster before you go

Vaccinated people ✅
From Saturday 12 February 2022 onwards, vaccinated people do not need to take any COVID-19 travel tests before they travel to France from the UK.
Prior to departure, vaccinated people authorized to enter France from the UK will have to present to the transport company (depending on their situation):
1. Proof of vaccination
⚠️ Since 1 February 2022, in order for their vaccination schedule to continue to be recognised as complete, persons aged 18 years or older wishing to enter French territory must have received a booster dose of messenger RNA vaccine no later than nine months after receiving the last mandatory dose.
2. A sworn statement
A sworn statement certifying the absence of COVID-19 symptoms and of any contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the 14 days prior to their crossing.

In relation to the sworn statement when does that have to be dated. Want to get it uploaded ASAP but seems pointless if I do it today and then went out mixing with the infected- doesn't seem to be any guidance

As stated it's all up front now and system driven. I uploaded the covid test and my sworn statement the wrong way around and they wouldn't even let me through until i'd spoken to someone 2 weeks ago. Just got a big no on the touch screen!!! Not sure if your friend got vaccinated now there would be enough time between the jab and travel now anyway. Without a compelling reason to travel he will be refused unvaccinated.

I go Thursday, you have to upload all your documentation on the eurotunnel API, so rather than thinking you might get spot checked there's going to be a system notification highlighting the fact you haven't done it.

He has a week to get vaccinated, or you don't take him. Or he could hire a vehicle and take his own risks. Their is nothing unknown or new and surprising here. I doubt anyone could give you a definitive answer as to how Eurostar or customs will respond to your alternatives.

We are heading out to France on the euro tunnel next Friday, there are 2 vans and a car going out, one guy is unvaccinated and is travelling with me. If they don’t let him through could we move our kit into the other van for him to drive my van home even though it’s under my booking and I’m not a named passenger on the the other bookings? Can you add a passenger on the spot or would I have to take my van though and he would have to get a lift home?

Just seen this - From 4am on Friday (March 18) the law on filling out passenger locator forms for those arriving in the UK will be lifted, as will all testing requirements for those arriving into the country.

I was on the understanding that if you’ve had all 3 jabs you don’t need to do any test to enter France
Fill in the paperwork etc but no pcr/antigen test

Non vaccinated people ❌
Prior to departure, non vaccinated people authorized to enter France from the UK will have to present to the transport company (depending on their situation):
1. A compelling reason
Non-vaccinated people will be required to have a compelling reason to travel to or from the UK. These reasons are listed at the following address: https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/Actualites/L-actu-du-Ministere/Attestation-de-deplacement-et-de-voyage. Being French is a compelling reason to return to France. French people’s partners (spouses, PACS partners or cohabiting partners (on presentation of proof of cohabitation)) and their children will still be able to travel to France.
2. A negative PCR (less than 72h) or TAG test less than 48 hours old
Travellers (12 years old or more) have to provide the result of a negative PCR (less than 72h) or antigen test (in paper or digital format) carried out less than 48h hours prior to departure.
Self-administered tests whose results are not certified by an approved private test provider (e.g. free tests provided by the NHS) are not authorized for travel. The NHS has stated that it will not carry out any tests for the purposes of travel. People should therefore use private organizations providing a similar service. No specific tests exist which are linked to the new variant identified.
Day 2 tests may be used for your return to France if they comply with the time criteria (less than 72/48 hours old) and contain the necessary information (type of test, date and time, name of laboratory, your full name and date of birth etc.).
The UK authorities are updating a list of centres permitted to carry out COVID-19 testing. This list can be viewed at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/list-of-private-providers-of-coronavirus-testing/list-of-private-providers-of-coronavirus-testing.
N.B. We also strongly advise you to contact your travel operator to find out more about their travel requirements.

Fully Vaccinated Passengers
1. French health declarations
To enter France you must complete the following forms which can be found on the French Home Office website. Please read all the requirements detailed on this page and click "TRAVEL TO/FROM AN ORANGE LIST COUNTRY".
a "Sworn Statement" - is required for all passengers.
This must be completed for all passengers and presented digitally or printed to border control authorities.
For more information regarding travel to and from the UK and France please visit:
Coronavirus - Advice for Foreign Nationals in France – French Consulate in London (uk.ambafrance.org)
2. Negative COVID tests
All passengers over 12 years of age require a negative result from a non-NHS PCR test or a non-NHS Antigen (lateral flow) test taken no more than 48 hours before travel (find a private test provider).

That is my understanding of the situation at the moment and as such I went and got my booster that I had previously declined so I can go on the couple of trips I've got booked. It gets a little grey in that the timing of the second jab has an impact, I think if your 2nd dose was less than 9 months before you travel you are OK otherwise you get treated as unvaccinated, so much easier to get the booster to be covered

I am off to France to ski shortly, so I have been reading various sources to ensure we are good to go.
As I understand it, France recognise fully vaccinated as 2 jabs and a booster - the time between 2nd jab and booster is irrelevant, as long as you have had the booster, you are ok. However, if you have only had 2 jabs, and the 2nd jab was more than 9 months ago, then you are not considered as vaccinated. So would need a booster a few weeks before you go.
But this has changed several times this year already, so it's likely to change again.

I also read that in France the definition of vaccinated includes having the booster within 9 months of your second dose. This came through from the venue I am going to later in the year as they wanted to ensure that all guests were aware of the requirements to avoid any last minute cancellations

vaccinated travellers from outside the EU in time for half-term holidays.
In good news for Britons planning a getaway during the school break, those who have both doses of a Covid jab and are from outside of the EU will no longer be required to produce a negative Covid-19 test result in order to enter.
Travellers entering France currently have to present proof of a negative Covid test taken up to 48 hours before their arrival. Both unvaccinated and vaccinated people are subject to the pre-arrival testing.

The French authorities have confirmed that from the morning of 14 January 2022, the UK is on France’s red list. Fully vaccinated travellers (see ‘Vaccination status’ below) must:
Present a negative PCR or antigen test result taken within 24 hours pre-departure if aged 12 years and over.
Provide a completed ‘sworn statement’ (déclaration sur l’honneur) form self-certifying you’re not suffering from symptoms associated with coronavirus and have not been in contact with confirmed cases in the preceding fortnight. TFrom 14 January, unvaccinated travellers will need to self-isolate on arrival in France for 10 days, subject to police checks. You must also provide:
a negative PCR or antigen test result taken within 24 hours pre-departure if aged 12 years and over.
contact details before travel to France, including the address they will be staying at, to the French authorities via an online form.
a completed international travel form to prove the reason for essential travel. This can be found on the French government’s website. In exceptional circumstances, the French Consulate in London may be able to assist with travel for a compelling reason not listed as an ‘essential reason for travel’.
a completed ‘sworn statement’ (déclaration sur l’honneur) form self-certifying they are not suffering from symptoms associated with coronavirus and have not been in contact with confirmed cases in the preceding fortnight. This can be found on the French government’s website.his can be found on the French government’s website
You should not use the NHS testing service to get a test in order to facilitate your travel to another country. You should arrange to take a private test from a private coronavirus testing provider. Test results must be certified by a laboratory to be accepted.

It's PCR or Antigen test. You can use either. 24 to 48 hours before.
