IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON TRAVELING TO FRANCE (as of 18 March 2022)

Travelers to France may be required to provide proof of complete vaccination for COVID-19 to enter the country, depending on the level of COVID-19 in their home country. 

France categorizes other countries as either "Green" or "Orange". There are different regulations and restrictions for entry to France from Green and Orange countries.

Since 1 February 2022, in order for their vaccination schedule to continue to be recognized as complete, persons aged 18 years or older wishing to enter French territory must have received a booster dose of messenger RNA vaccine no later than nine months after receiving the last mandatory dose.

We strongly suggest you consult the France Diplomatie website to determine your eligibility to enter France and the documentation required. The France Diplomatie website is available here. We also suggest that you consult your home country's regulations to determine your eligibility to re-enter your country after the Conference.
