Liverpool John Lennon Airport issues passport warning to LFC fans heading to Paris

Liverpool John Lennon Airport has issued a passport warning to Liverpool FC fans travelling to Paris.

Jurgen Klopp's side will take on Real Madrid in the Champions League final at the Stade de France on Saturday. Thousands of Reds fans are preparing to make the journey to the French capital for UEFA's showpiece event.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport has urged anyone making the trip to ensure their passport is valid. The reminder was sent on the Speke based airport's Twitter account and included the criteria required for a passport to be valid.

It said: "Your passport must be: Issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country. Valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave."

LJLA also urged fans to consult the latest entry requirements that anyone travelling to France must follow. The country has been plunged into lockdown three times, and some restrictions were recently reintroduced after cases rose steadily again. What you must do before entering France depends on your vaccination status.

Fully vaccinated travellers aged 12 and above must provide proof of vaccination status on entry to France. France will accept the UK’s proof of Covid-19 recovery and vaccination record at the border.

As of March 31, travellers from the UK aged 12 and above who are not fully vaccinated need to provide a negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours or an antigen test result taken within 48 hours pre-departure.

All children under 12 are exempt from covid travel restrictions in France.
