Event

As of June 7, officials are maintaining the following COVID-19-related domestic and international measures.

Domestic Measures
A vaccination pass is no longer mandatory to access leisure and culture venues, bars and restaurants, hotels, concerts, festivals, stadiums and gyms, and health care services. Facemasks are no longer mandatory in most enclosed spaces, except on public transportation and in health establishments.

International Travel Restrictions
France uses a color-coded system to classify countries based on COVID-19 risk and imposes entry restrictions accordingly. Green countries are those assessed to have the lowest disease risk, while the virus is considered active in orange countries.

• Unvaccinated travelers arriving from mainland France or a green country must present a negative result from a PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before boarding or an antigen test taken 48 hours before boarding. Unvaccinated travelers arriving from orange countries must also have an essential reason for their trip.

• Unvaccinated travelers leaving the island to mainland France will need to present a negative PCR test result not older than 72 hours or a negative antigen test result taken less than 48 hours before departure.

Advice

Follow all official instructions. Abide by national health and safety measures. Confirm all travel arrangements well before departure. Consider delaying traveling if experiencing symptoms associated with COVID-19, as they may prompt increased scrutiny and delays. Liaise with trusted contacts for further updates and guidance. Maintain contact with your diplomatic representation. Ensure contingency plans account for further disruptive measures or extensions of current restrictions.
