Is this what you were thinking of? If you are not staying with friends or family or can show a hotel reservation, you should have €120/day for your time in France -read here. Short stayOver on a cycling website I belong to there is a lot of head scratching going on about what appears to be the new entry requirements for non EU visitors entry for less than 3 months in France.
Un étranger a-t-il besoin d'un visa pour venir en France ?
Un étranger non européen doit avoir un visa pour séjourner en France plus de 3 mois ou pour séjourner moins de 3 mois si sa nationalité l'exigewww.service-public.fr
Seems it may cost you €120 for the privilege.
Are the French and Spanish requirements for visitors the same or would you have to declare yourself at the first town after crossing the border?
Another €120s?
Not really. The requirement that foreign visitors must have sufficient means of subsistence, both for the duration of the intended stay and for the return home, has been in the Schengen Border Code for ages. As thousands if not millions of travellers from the USA, Canada, Australia and many other countries will testify, they never got asked to show proof.All bizarre but thanks to brexs**t
And I expect it is the policy for entry into just about any country in the world - if they don't think you can afford to take care of yourself, they don't want you entering the country!The requirement that foreign visitors must have sufficient means of subsistence, both for the duration of the intended stay and for the return home, has been in the Schengen Border Code for ages.
I would think so. And just to clarify: The rule about means of subsistence (= having enough money to tap into during the trip if necessary) applies to short-term visitors, wether they must get a visa or not. When you travel from the UK through France to Spain, your passport will be checked by French border control once, and not again when you enter Spain afterwards; it is the same as in the past. You don't have to report in a town hall in France or Spain.And I expect it is the policy for entry into just about any country in the world - if they don't think you can afford to take care of yourself, they don't want you entering the country!
And it doesn't mean that border control shall ask such proof from every traveller who arrives at their booths. Thousands if not millions of travellers from the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia .....
It varies greatly from one nationality to the next, though UK nationals residing in the UK only need visas if they plan on their visit(s) exceeding 90 days in a 180 day period. Similar I believe for US nationals, and some other larger countries.Over on a cycling website I belong to there is a lot of head scratching going on about what appears to be the new entry requirements for non EU visitors entry for less than 3 months in France.
From tomorrow June 9th, France will be allowing fully vaccinated persons to enter the country.Our planned inbound flight is supposed to be from Paris but according to https://reopen.europa.eu/en France is still closed to pretty much everyone except for a few. Is there a light at the end of tunnel? And I hope that light is not a train
Looks like this is what they need for US Citizens:From tomorrow June 9th, France will be allowing fully vaccinated persons to enter the country.
What percentage of your cost would that be? Two nights in a cheap hotel? How long ate you staying? What did your flight cost?Looks like this is what they need for US Citizens:
If you are fully vaccinated:
I've read some news that PCR tests can cost upward of 100 Euros, thats a downer..
- you will present proof of your vaccination,
- and the results of a negative PCR test of less than 72 hours or antigene test of less than 48 hours upon boarding,
yep exactly. First, my wife an I are pilgrims so the expenses are times two always. We dont want to spend if theres no need to. We can just leave from Madrid to avoid paying extra Covid-test. The tickets from MAD vs Paris are pretty much the same plus theres so much to see in Spain also.What percentage of your cost would that be? Two nights in a cheap hotel? How long ate you staying? What did your flight cost?
These things are liable to be changing on an almost daily basis for a little while longer ; particularly as the new vaxx passports and EU travel requirements are rolled out by each country, including acceptance of the cheaper antigen test. Though of course then there's the requirements for return travel to the US, and if that's PCR then there you go.Looks like this is what they need for US Citizens:
