Passports: Travelers need to ensure that their passports are valid for at least three months beyond their planned date of departure out of the 26 European countries in the Schengen Area. However, please note that the U.S. State Department also advises Americans to have at least six months’ validity remaining on their passport whenever they travel abroad.

Visas: No visa is currently required for travelers from the U.S., U.K., Australia, and Canada to visit France if the visit is less than 90 days. For citizens of the European Union, a national ID card is all that is required. Visitors from countries other than those mentioned above should check with the nearest French consulate or embassy to verify travel formalities.

COVID-19 (Updated March 17, 2022):

Please note that at this time, the French Government requires that all visitors over 12 years of age to France from “orange listed countries” be “fully vaccinated” meaning having received an initial one or two dose regime, plus a follow-up booster vaccine. Unvaccinated visitors from “green listed countries” must only present a negative COVID test upon arrival in France, but no quarantine period is required. As of March 17, 2022, the US and Canada have moved to the green list while the UK and Australia are designated as orange.  Please consult the following link for the most current information on whether your country is considered to be “orange”: https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/covid-19-international-travel

These designations and vaccination requirements are subject to change in the coming months, but for now we ask that individuals from orange countries apply only if fully vaccinated. As of March 14th, there is no longer a requirement to wear a mask indoors or show proof of vaccination status to dine out or attend events in France.
