After being removed from the red list, Pakistani travelers will no longer need quarantine to travel to and from France. Travelers will be required to take both doses of the approved vaccine for travel to France.
It should be noted that due to coronavirus, France had banned Pakistan and included it on the red list.
The French authorities in January 2022 decided to remove 12 third countries from the red list and place them on the orange one. The countries that were removed from the red list include Ukraine, Moldova, Russia, as well as the nine southern African countries – Mozambique, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Namibia – which were previously subject to the entry ban due to the widespread of the Omicron variant within their territory.
