Yep read all the threads That’s what I mean by confusing thought someone might have a concise up to date list of all procedures. Eg. Do I need to test for COVID in uk Do I need to test before I return Hopefully my Covid passport is on it’s way. But not too sure as website is suffering hiccups. Or do I just say stuff it Wait till next year. Was only wanting a cheeky 5 or 6 days on motorbike. Read government website If anybody can decipher that good luck. Sorry I didn’t go to Cambridge. Just a retired. Geordie plumber.
What do you need to go to France? Ideally the NHS App or a printed copy of your proof of double vaccination. And a crossing booked with a ferry, flight, or Eurotunnel. That's all at the moment. You can use the NHS App to print your own proof or you can ring 119 and ask them to send a printed copy. This can be used to access campsites and venues in France. But it is better if you can use the NHS App or a downloaded scan to your phone.
What do you need to get back from France? An antigen test or a PCR test arranged through Sante.fr or by calling in at your local pharmacy and asking if they do a 'Test to Travel' with a certificate of the results. This test need to be done within 72 hours of travel. You then need to order a 'Day 2 test' for your return to the UK. You will need the reference number for this to fill in your 'Passenger Locator Form' on the UK Government website.
If you're travelling by Eurotunnel you'll need to upload all of the above to the Eurotunnel website, you booking referance page, before you set off.
So you need the internet.
And as far as 'sodding it' until next year, it may be no different next year. Last year, unvaccinated, we travelled to France and back with no differences to normal - no certificates, no proof of vaccination, nothing. This year, even double-vaccinated, the requirements changed and became much more onerous. Who is to say that next year things won't be even worse, with more proof and more Apps. Get a good smartphone, some App confidence (your children or grandchildren will help! My twenty-one month old grandson knows how to find pictures of himself on his Daddy's iphone!) and you'll be off without worrying.
We're in France at the moment, and travel isn't as easy as it was, but it isn't so difficult that two over seventies can't manage the technology.
