What is a valid health pass ?

We control your health pass by scanning a QR code, either presented on paper or via a screen (smartphone, tablet).

To provide a valid health pass you need one of the following proofs:

  • the proof of a negative test made in the last 72h
    • RT-PCR test made in laboratories (43.89€ for foreigners)
