France lifts Covid-19 restrictions on Bangladesh

France has lifted restrictions on Bangladesh and decided to consider it a "Green" listed country with regards to Covid-19.

The French Foreign Ministry and Ministry of Interior said the decision came into effect from Thursday, a handout said here yesterday.

By dint of the latest decision by the French government, travellers from Bangladesh who got vaccinated with vaccines of BioNTech-Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca (Vaxevria/Covishield), and Johnson & Johnson will no more be required to have tests to arrive in France and depart from France.

A proof of a complete vaccination schedule will be sufficient to arrive in France from Bangladesh.

For unvaccinated travellers from Bangladesh, the obligation to present a negative test (RT-PCR) to travel to France will remain effective.
