Declaring EU family members on the ETIAS France application

Part of the ETIAS France form also asks you to declare if you have a family member(s) who is a European citizen in the Schengen Area, or they have the right to freedom of movement in the EU.

If you state ‘yes’ to one of the situations mentioned above, you’ll also be asked to provide the following information:

  • Personal information of the family member

Security screening when you apply for ETIAS France

You’re also required to answer some security questions before you can submit your ETIAS France application. These questions cover the following:

  • Past criminal convictions
  • Travel history to war or conflict zones
  • Whether you’ve been subject to a return decision

This data is then verified through Schengen security systems to confirm if you’re safe to enter. If you’re deemed as posing a significant risk to public health or security, you’ll be ineligible to travel to France under ETIAS.

If you have a minor criminal record from past offences, you may still be eligible for ETIAS France, providing you’re not seen as a threat to European security.

ETIAS ensures that all visitors from visa-exempt non-EU countries are screened for security risks ahead of their visit. This enhances the protection of Schengen borders and increases overall safety.

If your application raises an alert, your request will undergo a manual review for individual assessment.

In the case that your ETIAS France application is denied, you may be asked to submit further documentation. If your application is then rejected, you’re entitled to appeal the decision.
