 Poster: A snowHead

Hi
Feel stupid asking this. Just filling out the sworn undertaking to comply with the rules for entry into metropolitan French territory from orange bliss countries. Which has to be filled out before going to France. When it says residing at I presume that is the address that you are at before you leave. When it says initial place of origin I presume that is the same or the airport you left from.
And I presume final destination is where you’re staying in France.
Anybody have any thoughts or experience in filling this form out ?

Origin question is to cater for folk on a multi-stage journey. No one looks at the form or asks for it. They are just interested in your vax status.

Anyone know if there is a way of completing this without printing it out? I don't have a printer!
Thanks

Quick google suggests it is available as pdf or word version. Eurotunnel have a PDF. Complete and save to phone?

@hoebag You could download and edit the Word version, completing your details, and inserting your signature as an image. Then Print to PDF and you'd have what you need in electronic form, for upload to the Eurotunnel Advance Passenger Information. Probably.
To get a signature as an image, sign a blank piece of paper, then take a photo' with your mobile. Then crop it down to the boundary of the signature and send yourself the JPG or GIF, which you can then insert into the Word document.
When you edit the Word Déclaration, don't change any of the line or page spacing: keep it as it is, even 'though the form goes onto a second page and it might seem sensible to cut out a few lines to make it fit on one side. I did this and the Eurotunnel AI system rejected it. When I kept it in the original format, it uploaded and validated OK. Go figure.

Quick update. In France now. Entered via Geneva. Nobody asked for the sworn statement.
Indoor Restaurants and indoor activities are asking for Covid pass. But not on lifts so far.
Took my son for a covid test, as he hasn’t had 2nd jab. Pharmacy had to open up the room the used to take them… no queue.

Is the Sworn Statement the only thing we need now? No tests on either entry or exit to France? Vaccinations are all the French Covid app. Entering France on the 4th March through the tunnel.

+PLF for return to England at the moment (didn't check the other home nations)

We landed at Manchester this morning and weren't asked for our PLF. We also weren't asked for it before we boarded in Bratislava (with Ryanair).

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Needed a PLF to get on the EuroTunnel. It was just a bit of a faff online to do it but they never looked (prob because it was all in the system and the auto checkin saw that we'd loaded it all)
Loaded the Sworn statement before departure but noone ever cared after.

@hoebag, you can handwrite the statement. It is just that - a signed statement. i have never been asked for one in many trips but, like many, I always have one just in case I meet the one official that will!

You know it makes sense.

Quick reply from me too...
We are in France atm and flew BHX to Chambery on Saturday. Docs checked at Birmingham - Covid passes, EU-PLF, 12yr old's 'fit to fly' (but only when we offered it) and declaration - they wanted one for the 9yr old, which I disputed. They had a conflab and concluded that "I was probably right but, as I had a spare, I may as well fill it out".
At Chambery the official posters had 'declaration' crossed out. Border control checked covid QR codes of the adults.
EU-PLF and declaration not collected.
In resort, covid passes were asked for when we checked in. There has been a little (very little) checking on thd I was asked for it at a mountain restaurant today. We haven't been asked for it for the 12yr old's ski lessons at all. Mask wearing seems reasonably well supported, but no-one has asked for it (I haven't been very good at remembering in 'outdoor settings' if I'm honest...

Looked at filling in PLF for entry to France - it stated only required if entry by aircraft?
As arriving by train (eurostar) I presume not needed then?

@albob, That's as I understand it from the gov.uk site and the French government site.
The gov.uk says you might be asked to fill one in, when you follow the link to EUPLF it has a drop down for France, which says you need to fill one in for air transportation. Presumably the EUPLF people getting above their station

@dazzle109 We had to wait at UK Border Control because the guys were changing shift and computer logins, and the Immigration official had to wait for his session to start up. He said that what you pre-load onto the Eurotunnel API is seen by both the Eurotunnel staff and the UK and French immigration staff. Which is why you're not usually asked for any of the documents like your vaccination certificate, the UK PLF or the French Déclaration. You'll only be asked for these if they're suspicious for some reason, or their system hasn't received the documents. Your passport is enough to validate that you are who you claim to be and then the other documents - usually visible to the official - rely on that. Basically, although the API upload is tedious, it saves having to show the documents when you transit.

Does anyone know the rule for unvaccinated people transiting through france to Andorra?
Some sites say its a compelling reason and is allowed and some say you have to be fully vaccinated.
I've been going round and round in circles for days.

Those are the websites I've been going round in circles in. On one of them it states in a box that transiting through france (flying in) to another country is a compelling reason so long as its less than 24 hours and you stay in the airport.

You aren't staying in the airport if you're transiting to Andorra, so that isn't relevant.

It says you can stay at the airport for upto 24 hours and doesn't count towards needing a vaccine and that travelling from the airport to another country is a compelling reason.

So long as you sure just transiting through that is. You have upto 24 hours to sort a transfer out and it's like you've not entered France.
This is why I'm so confused.

Presumably you're referring to this possible compelling reason:
"Travellers in transit for less than 24 hours in an international zone in airports."
If you're in transit within an international zone of an airport that means you're changing planes without leaving the airport, effectively staying airside throughout and never really enter France. For e.g. I have on several occasions flown from Heathrow to Paris then on to Tokyo without ever really passing into France.
This definitely doesn't cover leaving the airport to travel by land to Andorra. If you leave the airport you've left the international zone.

I've just done a lot of intense searching and I think you are right that it has to be a flight and not leaving the airport to transit.
I thought a transfer bus from the airport would count but I must have convinced myself of it.
Less confused now but definitely more bummed out over the outcome.
