Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, opens in a new window.
All passengers with France as the final destination from or through the United States from August 1 onwards (departing the US on or after July 31) must provide evidence of a negative result from a PCR test taken within 72 hours of departure. Please be prepared to confirm your test results prior to boarding. This applies to all passengers regardless of nationality.
Please note that there is a grace period when departing the US any date between July 31 to August 4 where travelers can receive testing upon arrival in France. After the grace period ends, all travelers must present a negative COVID-19 test to board."
At least, this is much less stringent than what Hong Kong requires for arriving pax. The lab result must be in English or Chinese with f personal details (passport number, etc.). The lab must be certified by the local government:
"
A letter issued by the relevant authority of the government of the place in which the laboratory or healthcare institution is located. This letter must certify that the laboratory or health care institution is recognised or approved by the government. This letter must be written in English or Chinese.
Note: For passengers travelling from the United States, a copy of a ‘Certificate of Accreditation’ issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) , Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) program is acceptable. Passengers should contact their laboratory or healthcare provider for further information."
Thay suspect many fake tests from other high-risk countries such as India, Pakistan,... Of course a fake letter is also a possibility but will need official stamps.
