The Paris 2024 Olympic Games are fast approaching and drawing the world’s attention to the French capital. Whether you’re a keen spectator, a participating athlete or a company working for the event, coming to watch this historic event from abroad requires certain administrative formalities.<\/p>\n
In this article, ITAMA tells you what you need to do, depending on your profile.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you are a national of one of these countries or micro-states*, you do not need to do anything special. You enjoy freedom of movement and can enter France freely<\/strong> with your identity card or valid passport.<\/p>\n *Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Germany and Spain, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Around sixty non-EU countries that are neither part of the EU nor the Schengen area are exempt from the Schengen C visa requirement<\/strong>. If you are a national of one of these countries*, you do not need to apply for a short-stay visa to travel to Paris for the Olympic Games. All you need is a valid passport.<\/p>\n However, the total of your previous and future stays must not exceed the 90 days authorised in the Schengen area per 180-day period<\/strong>. To check this, you can calculate your balance using this tool: https:\/\/www.visa-calculator.com\/fr<\/p>\n *The full list of countries concerned: https:\/\/france-visas.gouv.fr\/documents\/d\/france-visas\/reglement-ce-2018-1806-fr<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you are not a national of the EU, EEA, EFTA or a visa waiver, you must obtain a Schengen type C visa<\/strong>. You should start the process at least 2 months before<\/strong> your date of arrival in France, given the exceptionally high volume of applications.<\/p>\n The price of this visa varies:<\/p>\n The visa must be accompanied by travel insurance, otherwise it will not be issued.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The members of the Olympic Family represent all persons belonging to the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee, the International Federations, the National Olympic and Paralympic Committees, the Organising Committees of the Olympic Games and the National Associations – such as athletes, judges\/referees, coaches and other sports technicians, medical staff attached to teams or athletes and media-accredited journalists, senior executives, donors, sponsors or other official guests<\/strong> – that agrees to be guided by the Olympic Charter, acts under the control and supreme authority of the International Olympic Committee, is included on the lists of responsible organisations and is accredited by the Organising Committee of the host Member State of the Olympic and Paralympic Games as a participant in the 2024 Olympic and\/or Paralympic Games. If you are a foreign national and a member of the Olympic family, here are the procedures to follow to enter France and be able to take part as such in the event:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If your nationality usually requires a Schengen C visa to enter France, you must apply for one at least 3 weeks before your departure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Unlike “traditional” visa applications entered on the France Visa platform, applications must be sent to the Games Organising Committee, which then forwards them to the “Olympic Consulate<\/strong>” in Nantes. To be considered as part of the “Olympic family” and to follow this procedure, you must be :<\/p>\n With official accreditation, you can come to France between 26 June and 8 October<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A long-stay visa is required for stays of more than 90 days in any 180-day period<\/strong>. “Talent – International renown” status is available to foreign nationals with an established national or international reputation (or who are likely to make a significant and lasting contribution to France’s economic development, regional planning or reputation) and who come to work in a scientific, literary, artistic, craft, intellectual, educational or sporting field.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stays of less than 90 days per 180-day period in connection with a sporting event are exempt from work permit requirements in certain cases<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You do not need to obtain a work permit if you are :<\/p>\n Secondment is when a person works temporarily in a country other than their country of origin, often for a fixed period. When a worker is seconded, he generally remains linked to his original employer and continues to benefit from the working conditions and social protection of his country of origin, while complying with the laws and regulations of the country to which he is seconded<\/strong>.<\/p>\n There may be specific rules to follow in the host country, such as administrative formalities or tax obligations. If a foreign worker is seconded to France, they must have :<\/p>\n However, since the decree of 4 June 2019, you are exempt from the prior secondment declaration<\/strong> for stays of less than 3 months if you are:<\/p>\nThird-country nationals exempt from the Schengen C visa requirement<\/h3>\n
Nationals of other third countries<\/h3>\n

Administrative formalities for members of the Olympic family<\/h2>\n
(Source: https:\/\/visas-fr.tlscontact.com\/olympic_games\/ma\/maOUD2fr<\/a>)<\/p>\nSpecific procedure for visa applications<\/h3>\n
This special consulate has been in place since 1 January 2024, specifically for the Olympic Games. Its aim is to ensure that applications are processed quickly, to avoid any delays caused by the saturation of the consulates<\/strong>. It centralises all visa applications from the “Olympic family” to relieve the administrative burden. These applications are processed directly by officials from the Ministry of the Interior and Overseas France (MIOF) and the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs (MEFA), who have been specially assigned to the event.
If the application is accepted, the Olympic Consulate will issue a free dematerialised entry permit: the visa number is incorporated directly into the Olympic accreditation card<\/strong>. Another advantage of this exceptional procedure is that, exceptionally, the original of your passport will not be kept by the authorities while the application is being processed.<\/p>\n\n
