village-saver, take a look at the French Government website, in English. I think you may have to google this.

Thanks, looks quite straightforward - we will see !

What happens if you overstay the 90 days when you return to the UK?

I live in Egypt and they just fine you at the airport if your visa has expired.

Bl**dy Brexit 😡😡😡

Barnier appears to have changed his tune now he's running for the presidency.  Ruffling a few feathers in Brussels.

Tosh - no other European country is as stupid as England.

Poland? Hungary? Belarus?

We can't all live in Scotland.

Belarus isnt in the EU... a fairly big prediction then that they will join and subsequently leave.

I responded to a comment about the most stupid European country, and Europe is more than the EU

A comment in response to Brexit and Brussels, whilst Europe is wider than the EU in this scenario was in relation to EU

No need for Facebook groups. All the information needed is on the French Government website.

Unfortunately, the application process is not as straightforward as it should be. I filled in my online application form, on the French Government website on 1st/2nd January. There is a ''Whom to contact'' button which brings up  ''404 This page does not exist''. The other button is to confirm that one has made an appointment with TLS, before pressing ''Submit''. I have also registered with TLS Manchester/

I have phoned TLS Manchester (Salford Quays) at various times of the day but they never answer. There is a option whereby they save your phone number and supposedly phone you back within ''several hours''. They do not phone back. I have sent several emails supplying my phone number but no response so far, apart from an email which advised me to consult the French Government website.

From the date of one's appointment it takes 15 - 20 days to process the visa application. I am in danger of running out of time. Then again, at the present time UK citizens are not allowed to enter France ''without a compelling reason''. I will be phoning TLS again on Monday morning.

That only applies for those that are unvaccinated

The French Government website was last updated on 3/2/22 and travel from an ''Orange Country'', which includes the UK, is not permitted without a compelling reason. Tourism and holidays are not a compelling reason. 

JGB1955

The current website (4 Feb) states 

2.1. Movement regulations

If already vaccinated, you are under no restrictions when entering Metropolitan France.

If unvaccinated, you must give a compelling reason to be allowed to enter Metropolitan France.
