To cope with the virus and limit the introduction of its variants, border control measures are temporarily necessary, at entry and exit.

Thus at each passage, the traveler must comply with three different regulations which are cumulative:

The movement regime: it defines the exceptional reasons for travel allowing access to the territory in the context of the current closure of borders. These derogatory reasons are now strictly limited to compelling reasons only;

Health control measures: prior and / or on arrival tests, absence of symptoms, absence of contact case status, isolation period of seven days (seven days), etc.

The usual rules governing the right to stay: all foreign travelers must present at the border a valid passport accompanied by the documents required according to their planned stay (in the event of a short stay (less than 90 days): proof of resources and accommodation and short-stay visa if their nationality is subject to it; in the event of a plan to settle in France: long-stay visa; in the event of residence in France: residence permit)

The nature of these measures for a given traveler depends in practice on several criteria:

The trip is made on entering or leaving the metropolitan territory;

State of origin or destination: France or another State in the European area, other third States including the United Kingdom;

Nationality or country of residence of the traveler;

Age of the traveler (more or less than 11 years).
