Arrival cards and declarations: ETIAS — European Travel Information and Authorization System

Registration after arrival

EUR 25

A third-country national intending to stay less than three months must, within three working days of entry, make an arrival declaration at the commune where they intend to stay, and receives a copy as a receipt. When the person stays for tourism in an accommodation establishment covered by the traveller-control legislation, the accommodation form (fiche d'hébergement) replaces the declaration. Failing to declare in time is punished by a fine of EUR 25 to 250.

Overstay penalties

EUR 251

A third-country national who stays beyond the validity of the visa or travel authorisation, or beyond three months from entry, is staying irregularly, and a return decision is taken. A return decision may carry an entry ban of up to five years. The minister imposes an entry ban on anyone given no period for voluntary return, or who stays after that period has expired. A prison term of eight days to one year and a fine of EUR 251 to 1,250, or one of these penalties, applies to a third-country national who, without a justified reason for not returning, stays irregularly after detention or house arrest ended without removal.
