Traveling from the US with ETIAS for France

To satisfy the ETIAS for France standards, you will be required to provide a valid biometric passport. Since 2010, the U.S. government has been issuing biometric passports, so almost all citizens are eligible. Your passport must be valid for the entire length of your stay in France or other ETIAS France member countries. In most cases, further paperwork isn’t required. The costs of applying can be paid with a credit or debit card.

You will receive updates at the email address you provide when completing the form. If your passport expires will your ETIAS France Application is still valid, you will need to obtain both a new passport and ETIAS visa. ETIAS cannot be transferred from one passport to another because it is tied to an electronic chip connected to only one passport. The same is true for U.S. citizens seeking dual nationality with France under the ETIAS for France program. To enter France with the same passport, they must register for a visa.
