PLF and QR code
 

Had a quick look but can't find anything, so can anyone help about how long the QR code takes to arrive after you've filled in your PLF form to enter Spain?
Thanks

Should be pretty instant

Thanks!

My son had his within 30 mins of filling in the form and uploading his vaccine details.
That was last week

We filled in the Spanish PLF forms in September before returning from holiday in Italy and got the emails with the QR codes within seconds of submitting the completed forms.

Re: PLF and QR code
 

Do you have to fill PLF in when driving from the UK via France to Spain?

Re: PLF and QR code
 

No, only if you enter by plane or boat.

Re: PLF and QR code
 

So no paperwork at all going through the channel tunnel then?

Seems stupid but there you go.

Re: PLF and QR code
 

But you need to find out what France requires.

+1

Sorry, I should have said that this was from Spain's point of view. I don't know what France needs.

Re: PLF and QR code
 

The OP should enquire on the France forum. Some one there should know (not me, I'm afraid, I haven't been to the UK for 2 years....)

I needed nothing covid related to enter France from UK via Eurotunnel about a month ago.

Re: PLF and QR code
 

Did you not need the 'sworn statement' sur l'honneur which is very covid related?

Re: PLF and QR code
 

No.

Re: PLF and QR code
 

Strange because according to Eurotunnel website

SWORN STATEMENT OF ABSENCE OF COVID-19 SYMPTOMS AND OF
CONTACT WITH CONFIRMED CASES

This statement must be presented to transportation companies, before boarding, by passengers travelling to
mainland France. It must also be presented to border control authorities.

I needed it to enter France as did all my fellow passengers.

Interesting. That wasn't a requirement on the ET website a month ago and no mention of it by ET at Folkstone or at the French border. All they were interested at French passport control was seeing my T.I.E.. When did you travel?

Re: PLF and QR code
 

A declaration "sur l'honneur" is needed to enter France by any route

I travelled by ferry on 28th September. but had previously considered Eurotunnel who I believe incorporate it into the online reservation and do not need to see a paper copy when booking in. However, Frontiere Police may require to see it on entry and in my case it was specifically requested and checked against my passport.

Extract from French Government website (I can't post links yet)

2.2. Health control measures

"If you are already vaccinated, you must present proof of vaccination status and a sworn statement attesting to the absence of symptoms of covid-19 infection and contact with a confirmed case of covid-19".

Ah well, we must have been lucky or it wasn't a requirement at the time we travelled.
