entry & customs requirements

Passports

EU nationals entering France need only a national identity card; visitors from the UK should take their passport. In any case, airlines usually ask for passports.

Nationals from other countries must be in possession of a valid national passport.

Visas

There is no requirement for a visa for EU nationals, nor for citizens from the US, Canada or Australia travelling as tourists and staying for less than 90 days, except for students planning to study in France.

Customs regulations

The UK Customs and Excise website contains information on allowances, travel safety tips, and contains downloadable documents and information.

There are no limits on the amount of duty and/or tax-paid alcohol and tobacco that you can take back to the UK as long as they are for your personal use or as gifts, and they are transported by you.

However, in the UK, Customs do attempt to limit the amount of alcohol and tobacco that is regarded as reasonable for personal use. This amounts to:

3,200 cigarettes

200 cigars

3kg of tobacco

110 litres of beer

90 litres of wine

10 litres of spirits

20 litres of fortified wine
