France Vaccine Passport Ended for Tourist Visitors

As of March 14, 2022, a Covid-19 vaccination certificate / “Health Pass” / “pass sanitaire” is no longer required in France.

Travel into & around France is not restricted for Covid in any way. There are:

• no vaccination requirements
• no Covid testing requirements
• no restrictions on entry for tourism

The official France government page detailing this can be found here:

https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/en/coming-to-france/coming-to-france-your-covid-19-questions-answered/

The below article is kept as is for archival purposes, but again, none of the below restrictions / requirements are in place as of March 14, 2022.

France will now (as of Nov. 8, 2021) provide a French vaccine passport (“Health Pass” / “pass sanitaire” / COVID certificate) with a QR code for tourists & visiting foreign nationals who have been vaccinated with an EU-approved vaccine and can present original proof of their vaccination along with a passport.  (Vaccinated UK citizens don’t need this.  They can use their NHS vaccination proof.)

The EU-approved vaccines are:

• Pfizer-BioNTech
• Moderna
• AstraZeneca
• Johnson & Johnson / Janssen

Pharmacies throughout France can review your vaccination card & passport and issue you a vaccine equivalency health pass for a fee of 35€ (or possibly less, but this is the maximum they can charge for this service by law).
