All travellers, even vaccinated, must have a negative Covid-19 test to travel to an overseas territory.


The epidemic is ebbing in the Overseas Territories and the conditions of access to the departments and territories are easing again at the beginning of April.

PCR tests are still required of all travellers, vaccinated or not, but their expiry date is extended to 72 hours for most territories.

On site, the rules are similar to those adopted in mainland France.

Curfew and health pass are lifted except in Martinique, where the rules are still relaxed.
