Simulator: with which documents to travel in Europe?

This simulator entitled Know the documents required to travel to Europe allows adult French citizens to know the identity document (passport, national identity card) required for a stay of less than 3 months in Europe. The countries concerned are the 46 countries belonging to the Council of Europe (except France) as well as the islands and territories of European or independent countries. It takes into account the countries accepting the long-term identity card (issued to adults between 2 January 2004 and 31 December 2013).

It has 2 tabs:

• Where are you going? Enter your destination and you will know with which documents to travel: passport, national identity card, national identity card with extended validity, visa.
• What document is in your possession? Enter your available document, its effective date, and you will know all possible destinations, including those that require specific validity periods.

It also provides information on:

• the extended validity of your identity card (it allows you to know if your identity card over 10 years has been extended to 15 years under certain conditions and if it allows you to enter a country);
• the extensive validations required by different countries. For example, to enter Turkey, you need a passport or a NIC valid for 5 months after entering the country).

Before leaving, it is strongly recommended to register on Ariane, a service of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs to be alerted in case of crisis during your trip.
