• Member States of the European Union;
• Albania;
• Andorra

• Iceland
• Israel
• Liechtenstein;
• North Macedonia;
• Morocco
• Monaco
• Norway
• Panama
• United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales);

• Turkey;
• Ukraine;
• Vatican.

Citizens of other countries may apply for a health pass

This facility is open to non-European foreigner nationals, tourists or students enrolled in a French higher education institution. It allows only the recognition of vaccination in the foreigner. The certificate of reinstatement cannot therefore be registered in this device.

How do I apply?

Since August 27, 2021, your request for a sanitary pass is made directly online:

• For foreigner nationals, excluding students
• For foreigner students

Upon completion of your request, you will receive an email with a QR code. This can be printed and presented on paper, or added to the TousAntiCovid application, to justify your vaccination status.

Pending a QR vaccine equivalency code, a solution: a negative test

A temporary QR code can also be generated by a healthcare professional after obtaining a negative result on a RT-PCR or antigenic test valid for 72h. All RT-PCR and antigenic tests generate a proof, as soon as the result is entered by the healthcare professional, that can be printed live and that is also made available to the tested person via an email and an SMS to go and collect it on SI-DEP portal . In France, foreigners have to pay for their tests. They are available in laboratories, pharmacies or dedicated areas. The results of antigenic tests are generally known in about 15-20 minutes.
