French citizens currently abroad who wish to return home can go back to their country: we invite you to contact your Embassy and/or Consulate as well as your airline in order to organise your trip from abroad.

• The French Government has taken measures to move around for a period of 15 days (minimum): each person wishing to travel within the French territory must hold a document certifying on his/her honour the reason for his/her travel. This document can be downloaded from the website of the Ministry of the Interior or can be written on plain paper.

WARNING: Access to the terminals at Paris airports is restricted to employees and passengers (with a booking) who travel only in the context of the exceptions provided for. Taxis and public transport are still available for these journeys.

ATTENTION!

For a period of 30 days from 17 March 2020 :

The French State advises the French citizens against travelling abroad, in view of the travel restrictions in France and the measures taken by many countries at often very short notice (interruption of air links, ban on entry into the territory, compulsory isolation, etc.).

Airlines inform their passengers of the restrictions in place for them in the country of arrival. Passengers will be not allowed to board if they are not allowed to travel in the country of arrival.

Travel within the European Union is strongly discouraged.

All non-European citizens will no longer be able to enter the Schengen area.
Except for:
• Citizens of the United Kingdom, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and French Overseas Territories.
• Foreign citizens holding a French residence permit or a European residence permit returning home.
• People in charge of goods transportation.
• Health professionals mobilized in the fight against Covid-19.

The other categories of people will be refused entry on the grounds of "threat to public policy" on the basis of Articles 6§1 and 14 of the Schengen Borders Code.
