COVID-19 UPDATE:

The French and Irish Governments are advising against all non-essential travel. A negative RT-PCR test taken less than 72 hours prior to departure is required for all travellers age 11+ arriving in France. Controls will be carried out at boarding (air and sea links) or during the checks that may be carried out upon entry into French territory. Limited exceptions apply for border workers and road transporters. Please refer to the website of the French Embassy in Dublin and of the French Foreign Ministry, for full information in French and in English. Specific measures apply to hauliers transporting goods from Ireland to France on direct ferries, see our FAQ webpage for full information.

A negative/not-detected pre-departure Covid-19 RT-PCR test taken less than 72h prior to arrival in the State is required for all those age 6+ travelling to Ireland from abroad (including from France). Please consult dfa.ie and gov.ie for full information. All those travelling to Ireland are required to undertake mandatory quarantine upon arrival in the State. Full information at gov.ie

Due to the high circulation of Covid-19, a curfew between the hours of 6pm-6am is in place across France. If you need to leave your home during these hours, you must complete and carry a declaration, available on the website of the Ministry of the Interior. 

Please note that as part of the combined effort to tackle Covid-19 and general advice against non-essential travel, the Irish Department of Justice has taken the decision to temporarily suspend processing of visas/preclearance applications, except in certain emergency/priority cases. For further information please see http://www.inis.gov.ie/. For emergency/priority applications, please contact paris@dfa.ie directly before submitting an application.
