Travel to France (from UK) checklist
Updated October 2023. While we strive to ensure the accuracy of this summary information, we cannot take responsibility for any errors or misunderstandings that may arise from its usage.
- Passports (with minimum three months validity from your planned return date)
- EHIC or GHIC. This is available free when you apply online.
- Travel insurance
- If applicable, car insurance and European breakdown cover. Make sure that in your vehicle you have proof of ownership and proof of insurance.
There are currently no restrictions related to Covid. That means no need for proof of vaccination and no testing requirements for anyone entering France.
There is no need for a visa or other document for UK citizens travelling to and from France. However you should be aware that a maximum of 90 days in every 180 may be spent in all European Union (strictly speaking Schengen Group) countries.
