Travellers aged over 18 and one months who had their full vaccine course over nine months ago and have not since received a COVID-19 vaccine booster must follow the rules for unvaccinated passengers to enter France.

Travellers from the UK who are not boosted are treated as “unvaccinated” – 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

  • 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

If you have not received a booster (3rd dose of vaccine), your second vaccine dose must have been administered between 14 and 270 days prior to travel.

If you are travelling to Denmark from the UK and do not meet the second vaccine dose criteria you will need to:
