I'm told the French authority who oversees this is looking at your travel date and will process closer to that date. I'm booked for late November so I'm told closer to that time frame I'll get my pass.

Did anyone have issues with the download? I got email today saying I could download my French Covid Certificate. I downloaded it on my PC and when I open the download, it is another form where I am asked to fill out name, vaccine info, etc. After doing that, there is a button to submit, but the submission fails due to a failure to connect to the remote server.

Anyway, just wondered if anyone else had issues after receiving the email with the download link.

In the Netherlands, as a tourist you either need the EU Covid Certificate or do daily antigen testing in order to get into restaurants or attractions. They do not accept the CDC or other vaccination cards. This is why getting a pass sanitaire is very useful because it saves a lot of time.

Everyone should no the requirements of every country they will be visiting. At this point I don't mind waiting it out and seeing if I get the QR code in the 3 weeks as the site is showing. It seems like many here are thinking if they don't get an instant approval then they will not get it at all.

sure, if you are visiting one of those countries. Italy, for example excepts the CDC card. All depends where you are going and everyone should monitor closely.

Sounds like for the Netherlands, it would be not only useful, but essential for enjoying a vacation there. What a pain (and expense) to have to constantly test. In my case, my family and I are trying to plan a vacation to Portugal and Spain this winter, and we're actually considering a stop in France just so that we can get QR codes. But it seems like getting one is highly probabilistic - there ARE reports of people not getting a code before they departed - so it would be a waste to make a stop in France if that happens.

Of course what SHOULD happen is that every European country sets up its own system to convert the CDC card (or other countries' equivalent) to a QR code, or better yet, the EU should do it. And there shouldn't be a requirement for an air ticket, so you don't have to make that commitment BEFORE you know whether you'll get the pass.

or just accept the CDC card like Italy is doing.

We are traveling in late November and I was successful in getting the pass. I got passes for all 4 of us. The first one took 5 tries, the 2nd & 3rd went through with the first attempt and the 4th took 10 tries but finally was issued this morning.

That's right. I don't want to rely on anecdotes of places accepting the CDC cards unofficially. Since there's no visible expiration date, it looks like we're good for now.

Places can use a mobile version of the QR code, right?

In Paris I have yet to see anybody presenting a paper copy of the QR code.

I have no idea who the genius is behind the 6am strategy, but it's just amazing. Thank you!!!

Applied 10 minutes ago (6:25 am CET), received an approval within 5 minutes. My application was in processing practically instantly (got the "applied" and "in review" emails together).
Also as a data point, my arrival is in 2 days. I had my first application from early Sep take 25 days (I left France before it was processed -> application refused), second one didn't start review for 5 days already.

"Copy of The Travel Ticket"
 
If you're not visiting just France, and likely have separate tickets into-France and out-of-France (possibly to/from other parts of Europe), is it sufficient to upload an inbound-ticket, and an outbound-ticket? Possibly combining them into one file before uploading?

The way the form is written makes it seem like it's geared towards those with a simple return ticket in/out of France from their home country. :confused:
