Easy-look chart: Who can now get a Covid vaccine pass in France?

A vaccine pass is required for everyone aged 16 and over to enter the majority of leisure-orientated public places in France.

This includes cafes, restaurants, bars, cinemas, theatres, museums, transport services, etc.

A vaccine pass is proof of being fully vaccinated or having recovered from Covid.

However, there are various different ways in which in person can obtain a valid pass.

See our guide below, which is accurate as of February 15, 2022.

It should be noted that everyone who has received a booster vaccine dose already has a valid vaccine pass, as long as they received the dose seven days ago or more.

France’s domestic vaccine pass rules differ to its international rules regarding what constitutes fully vaccinated.
