Traveling through France?
Hi,
I'm traveling to Cairo, from Manchester next week and transiting for 8 hours in Paris.
I have read the rules in the French government website:
https://uk.ambafrance.org/France-to-admit-some-tra...
A relative of mine is severely ill and I would like to visit them before they go through their operation.
I have read the below is acceptable:
Third-country nationals spending less than 24 hours in international transit areas;
as a British citizen does this rule apply to me, would I be able to transit through France.
I am not going in France just transiting and I have read the rules in Cairo and they are fine for me.
I'm just worried that I will face problems in France.
Thank you
HI, I'm not worried about the return flight and I know about the 10 day quarantine. what I'm worried is the flight between Manchester and Cairo being stopped in Paris due to the new rules.
Also I heard that a transit Visa is required in Paris, after Brexit in 5 days will UK citizens require a transit Visa.
would I need to go through the passport control in Paris if I'm transiting. sorry I've not travelled in years so I don't know

"Third-country nationals spending less than 24 hours in international transit areas" means you do not leave the airport until your plane to Cairo takes off

The international transit area is the airport transit lounge. You may stay there for up to 24 hours. If you want to go through passport control, you need to comply with all the rules for entering France. You would also need to comply with the rules for leaving France to get back through security.
