From 31 March 2022, unvaccinated travellers from the UK no longer need an essential reason to visit France. What's more, the COVID Health Pass has now ended in France making school trips to France easier than ever.
Whether vaccinated or not, children and adults can now visit France on a school trip.
No tests are required for fully vaccinated travellers who can demonstrate their COVID status via the NHS COVID Pass.
Adults and children aged from 12 years who are not fully vaccinated will need to take a PCR test (within 72 hours) or lateral flow test (within 48 hours) before travel.
To be considered fully vaccinated, and exempt from a pre-departure test:
Note that the final dose must be administered at least 7 – 28 days before travel - the timescale depends on the type of vaccine. The foreign office website explains these rules in more detail.
Sworn statements of honour are no longer required to enter France. The Foreign Office website says that travellers may be asked to complete the EU-PLF form before boarding (though, to date, we are not aware of any groups who have been asked to do this).
The UK is on France's green list. Visit the French Consulate website for more information on travellers entering France from a green list country.
All UK COVID travel restrictions were removed on 18th March 2022, making it much easier for groups returning home from a school trip abroad. This means that, regardless of vaccination status, the following will apply:
