Since July 1, 2021, the QR code present on the French national health pass can be read anywhere in Europe, directly in the TousAntiCovid application or in paper format, in French and in English. The European health pass is a document that certifies that a person has been vaccinated against Covid-19 or is negative for Covid-19 or has recovered from Covid-19. It is free and is valid in all countries of the European Union without exception as well as in Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, Monaco and Andorra, and applicable for overseas territories. However, each country remains responsible for its own entry rules, which are not standardized at European Union level. This means that you have to find out in advance about the rules of entry into force in your country of destination. For example, several countries do not recognize the administration of a single dose of vaccine for people who have had Covid. For French people living abroad, a conversion system was put in place at the beginning of August so that vaccinations carried out outside the European Union with a vaccination scheme authorized in France can give rise to an equivalence of vaccination certificate.
