Depending on why you’re travelling and how long you plan to stay, you may require a visa for travel to the Schengen area. Check the European Entry and Exit (EES) and visa rules before you travel. If you’re a dual national of a European country, check whether the EES applies to you and what passport you should enter on. There may be delays at border crossings (see ‘Travel’).

If you’re planning to travel to France to commemorate Anzac Day, understand the risks and plan ahead. Read our ‘Travel overseas for Anzac Day’ page for further information on attending the event (see ‘Travel’).

We advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in France due to the threat of terrorism.
