Controls are being strengthened in the fight against the coronavirus epidemic. Proof of this is, travelers entering French territory must be provided with a certificate from this Tuesday evening at midnight, announced Tuesday the Ministry of the Interior.
Three different certificates have been posted on the ministry's website: one for a trip from abroad to metropolitan France, one for a trip from abroad to an overseas community, and one for a trip from mainland France to the French overseas territories.
No reason for French nationals
"If you are traveling from abroad to an overseas community, a health check will be carried out on your arrival. It can give rise to placement in quarantine in a dedicated structure or at home, ”says Place Beauvau.
The first two forms offer three profiles: third-country national, national of European Union countries and the like (United Kingdom, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Andorra, Monaco, Switzerland, San Marino, Holy See), and a national of French nationality.
For the first two cases of nationals, in order to be authorized to enter French territory, travelers must meet one of the following conditions: have their main residence in France as well as their spouses and children, be in transit to reach his family, be a health professional for the purpose of fighting covid-19, be a carrier of goods including a sailor, be a crew of passenger and cargo flights arriving at his departure base, be a member of a diplomatic mission or of organization international, to be a frontier worker at internal land borders.
For the French national, no reason is requested.
An English version
The form for traveling from mainland France to the Overseas Territories offers three possibilities to be specified: the “overriding personal or family reason”, that of “emergency health” or the “professional reason which cannot be deferred "
The forms, which are in the same form as the derogatory displacement certificates in force for the French, are also available in English.
