Returning to France as a resident

Upvote:4

I've just been turned away from the plane.

This is despite being a resident in France for 5 years. To be clear for anyone thinking about planning the trip, I took:

appartement contract
work contract
letter from my employer stating that they needed me in France
PCR test
utility bill
carte vitale

My airline was BA. They repeatedly said that I must have either:

a resident card
a french passport

They stated also that the rules were changed last night, I assume they are referring to this. Which states clearly that any habitual resident of France may re-enter the country.

Anyone looking to travel should probably contact their airline first to be absolutely clear on what is required as proof of residency.

Edit: I saw a woman pass with an application for residency. I've also heard people passing in the past with an application.
