Faster and easier border control with the Parafe system
Paris Aéroport, in conjunction with Government services, has equipped all of its Paris airport terminals with
“Parafe” (
Automated Fast-Track Crossing at External Borders)
gates, thus
automating the process for people entering and exiting the country. You can use this system if you
hold a biometric passport and are a national of one of the
27 countries of the EU, but also of
Australia, South Korea, Canada, the
United States, Iceland, Japan, Liechtenstein, New Zealand, Norway, the
United Kingdom, Switzerland and
Singapore. Instructions are found at the entrance of each gate.
Other nationalities must go through the traditional passport controls with immigration officers.
European minors aged 12 and over can also use
Parafe when arriving in France only. They are not allowed to use
Parafe to leave the country.
