Depending on your country’s status:
’Orange’ countries/territories: countries/territories where there is active circulation of the virus in controlled proportions. These are all countries/territories not included in the ’green’ list.
I am travelling to France. Do I have to fill any forms before boarding?
You may be asked to fill two forms before boarding for France:
The EU-PLF form is for travellers arriving on the territory of a European Union Member State. While rules to fill the form may vary between EU countries, it is compulsory for travellers who wish to enter France.
The Eos electronic form is for travellers coming from ‘orange’ countries and territories.
If you are fully vaccinated, things are easy:
What is the “Travel” certificate?
He “Travel” certificate is issued upon presentation of one of the following three documents:
– A vaccination certificate showing full vaccination;
– A certificate of medical reasons for not being vaccinated, issued in France;
– A certificate of recovery from COVID-19: a positive test conducted in France between 11 days and 6 months prior.

Coming to France: French nationals, foreigners, students and international researchers
Since 12 February 2022, new rules apply to travellers arriving in France. For further information, please see the Interior Ministry’s website.
According to European regulations, vaccinated travellers no longer have to be tested before departure. Proof of full vaccination once again suffices to enter France, regardless of the country of departure, as was the case before the spread of the Omicron variant.
Last, there is no need for a vaccination pass for hotels, restaurants, etc. Anymore. This coming week, masks are recommended but no longer mandatory in public transportations. There are still specific rules for hospitals, public institutions with fragile people. To this end, it may be handy to get the following certificate –you can do this whilst in France, in most pharmacies.
Key point: you must have your original vaccination certificates.
