Visa requirements for French citizens

Visa requirements for French citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of France.

A French passport
A French identity card is valid for travel to most European countries.

As of November 2024, French citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 192 countries and territories, ranking the French passport 2nd in terms of travel freedom (tied with the passports of Germany, Finland, Italy, Japan and Spain), according to the Henley Passport Index.[1]

Vaccination requirements

edit

Vaccination requirements map

edit

Certain countries and territories require travellers arriving from France to be vaccinated against specific diseases. This is a map of vaccination requirements for French citizens and residents arriving directly from the Schengen area, excluding those arriving from third countries.

 
Vaccination requirements for travellers arriving from France
  Polio vaccination required
  Vaccination not required

Quadrivalent meningococcal vaccination (ACYW135)

edit
Meningococcal vaccination requirements for international travel[241]
Country or territory Details
  Gambia All travellers must show proof of vaccination with quadrivalent meningococcal vaccine (ACYW135) upon arrival.[242]
  Indonesia Travellers arriving from or departing to Saudi Arabia must show proof of vaccination with quadrivalent ACYW-135.[243]
  Lebanon Proof of vaccination with quadrivalent ACYW-135 is required for travellers departing Lebanon and going to Hajj, Umrah, and to certain African countries.[244]
  Libya All travellers must show proof of vaccination with quadrivalent ACYW-135 upon arrival.[245]
  Philippines Proof of vaccination with quadrivalent ACYW-135 is required for travellers going to Hajj and Umrah (in Saudi Arabia).[246]
  Saudi Arabia
  • Proof of vaccination is required for travellers 2 years of age and older who are Hajj or Umrah pilgrims and seasonal or pilgrim workers in Hajj and Umrah areas. Vaccination with quadrivalent ACYW135 (either polysaccharide or conjugate) must be issued not less than 10 days before arrival and not more than 3 years (polysaccharide vaccine) or 5 years (conjugate vaccine) before arrival. The immunisation certificate should clearly state if the traveller was vaccinated with the conjugate vaccine for the 5-year validity to apply.[247]
  • Vaccination is also required for domestic pilgrims, residents of Mecca and Medina, and any persons participating in Hajj or Umrah or seasonal or pilgrimage work in Hajj and Umrah zones. At the discretion of the Ministry of Health, travellers may be administered prophylactic antibiotics upon arrival.[247]

Polio vaccination

edit

Yellow fever vaccination

edit

COVID-19 vaccination

edit

Many countries increasingly consider the vaccination status of travellers with regard to quarantine requirements or when deciding to allow them entry at all.[271] This is justified by research that shows that the Pfizer vaccine effect lasts for six months or so.[272]

Passport requirements

edit

Passport not required

edit

French identity card is valid for these countries :

Blank passport pages

edit

Many countries require a minimum number of blank pages to be available in the passport being presented, typically one or two pages.[273] Endorsement pages, which often appear after the visa pages, are not counted as being valid or available.

Passport validity length

edit

Many countries require passports to be valid for at least 6 months upon arrival and one or two blank pages.[274]

Countries requiring passports to be validity at least 6 months on arrival include Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Botswana, Brunei, Cambodia, Comoros, Côte d'Ivoire, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Fiji, Guyana, Haiti, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq (except when arriving at Basra – 3 months and Erbil or Sulaimaniyah – on arrival), Jordan, Kenya, Kiribati, Kuwait, Laos, Madagascar, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, Mauritania, Mongolia, Myanmar, Namibia, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Oman, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Rwanda, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Suriname, Syria, Taiwan, Tanzania, Timor-Leste, Tonga, Tuvalu, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, Vanuatu, Venezuela, Vietnam, Yemen.

Turkey usually requires passports to be valid for at least 5 months (150 days) upon entry, but for French citizens Turkish authorities allow to enter even with passport expired within last 5 years.[275]

Countries requiring passport validity of at least 4 months on arrival include Azerbaijan, Micronesia, Zambia.

Countries requiring passport validity of at least 3 months on arrival include Albania, Bosnia and Herzegowina, Honduras, Moldova, Nauru, North Macedonia, Panama, Qatar and Senegal

Countries requiring passport validity of at least 1 month on arrival include Eritrea, Hong Kong, Lebanon, Macao, Maldives, New Zealand, South Africa.

Other countries require either a passport valid on arrival or passport valid throughout the period of intended stay.

Medical passport

edit

Many African countries, including Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Liberia, Niger, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Togo, require all incoming passengers older than nine months to one year[276] to have a current International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, as does the South American territory of French Guiana.[277]

Visa requirements for French citizens traveling by land or sea

edit

Visa requirements depend on the mean of transportation. Jurisdictions that do not require a visa for French citizens traveling by air may require a visa if traveling by land or sea.

  France
  Visa not required
  Visa available both on arrival or online[Note 16]
  Visa or permit[Note 17] required prior to arrival[Note 18]

Entry bans

edit

Criminal record

edit

Some countries, including Australia, Canada, Fiji, New Zealand and the United States,[278] routinely deny entry to non-citizens who have a criminal record, while others impose restrictions depending on the type of conviction and the length of the sentence.

Persona non grata

edit

The government of a country can declare a diplomat persona non grata, banning them from entering the country or expelling them if they have already entered. In non-diplomatic use, the authorities of a country may also declare a foreigner persona non grata permanently or temporarily, usually because of unlawful activity.[279]

Israeli stamps

edit
 
Israeli border control Entry Permit (issued as a stand-alone document rather than a stamp affixed in a passport)

Kuwait,[280] Lebanon,[281] Libya,[282] and Yemen[283] do not allow entry to people with passport stamps from Israel or whose passports have either a used or an unused Israeli visa, or where there is evidence of previous travel to Israel such as entry or exit stamps from neighbouring border posts in transit countries such as Jordan and Egypt.

To circumvent this Arab League boycott of Israel, the Israeli immigration services have now mostly ceased to stamp foreign nationals' passports on either entry to or exit from Israel (unless the entry is for some work-related purposes). Since 15 January 2013, Israel no longer stamps foreign passports at Ben Gurion Airport. Passports are still (as of 22 June 2017) stamped at Erez when passing into and out of Gaza.[citation needed]

Iran refuses admission to holders of passports containing an Israeli visa or stamp that is less than 12 months old.

Biometrics

edit

Several countries mandate that all travellers, or all foreign travellers, be fingerprinted on arrival and will refuse admission to or even arrest travellers who refuse to comply. In some countries, such as the United States, this may apply even to transit passengers who merely wish to change planes rather than go landside.[284]

Fingerprinting countries/regions include Afghanistan,[285][286] Argentina,[287] Brunei, Cambodia,[288] China,[289] Ethiopia,[290] Ghana, Guinea,[291] India, Japan,[292][293] Kenya (both fingerprints and a photo are taken),[294] Malaysia upon entry and departure,[295] Mongolia, Saudi Arabia,[296] Singapore, South Korea,[297] Taiwan, Thailand,[298] Uganda,[299] the United Arab Emirates and the United States.

Many countries also require a photo be taken of people entering the country. The United States, which does not fully implement exit control formalities at its land frontiers (although long mandated by its own legislation),[300][301][302] intends to implement facial recognition for passengers departing from international airports to identify people who overstay their visa.[303]

Together with fingerprint and face recognition, iris scanning is one of three biometric identification technologies internationally standardised since 2006 by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for use in e-passports[304] and the United Arab Emirates conducts iris scanning on visitors who need to apply for a visa.[305][306] The United States Department of Homeland Security has announced plans to greatly increase the biometric data it collects at US borders.[307] In 2018, Singapore began trials of iris scanning at three land and maritime immigration checkpoints.[308][309]

Right to consular protection in non-EU countries

edit
 
Diplomatic missions of France

In a non-EU country where there is no French embassy, French citizens, like all other EU citizens, have the right to get consular protection from the embassy of any other EU country present in that country.

Air New Zealand, which flies daily from Heathrow via Los Angeles to Auckland, says there are currently "strict requirements for travellers" in transit at LAX. Through passengers to Auckland on flight NZ1 or Heathrow on NZ2 must apply in advance for an ESTA (online visa) even though they have no intention of staying in the US.

While a requirement for a biometric entry-exit system has been in law for over a decade, it is not yet a reality. Many reasons for the long gestating development have been documented in BPC's 2014 report Entry-Exit System: Progress, Challenges, and Outlook, including the technological, operational, and cost challenges of creating exit systems and infrastructure where none exist today. However, many critics, especially in Congress, simply accused the Department of Homeland security of dragging its feet... the major operational, logistical, and technical challenge in implementing exit capability at our ports has been the land borders. Unlike airports and seaports, the land border environment is not physically controlled, there is no means to get advance information on who is arriving, and the sheer volume of travel—both vehicular and pedestrian—creates challenges in any system to not further exacerbate delays. While biometric exit for land vehicular traffic is still in the "what if" stage, CBP is moving ahead and piloting systems and technology to use with the large population of pedestrian crossers at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The breach of privacy is probably the biggest threat to the biometric technique of iris recognition. Secondly, a device error can false reject or false accept the identity which can also have some heinous consequences. Lastly, the method isn't the most cost-effective one. It is complex and therefore expensive. Furthermore, the maintenance of devices and data can also be relatively burdensome.
