Eurotunnel - Do You Need Proof Of Negative Test Going From France To UK?

[HKF]

I know I should be able to find this information....but it's conflicting between .gov.uk and Eurotunnel. .gov.uk says 'no' but ET says 'yes'. Can anyone confirm one way or the other for fully vaccinated people, please? Thank you so much!

If you are fully vaccinated then no other ie new LFT test needed for crossing with Eurotunnel was in France a week ago. I downloaded nhs covid app onto API - no problems . Coming back needed a passenger locator form that was a pita to do but managed it with poor skills and internet .
if you are transiting to other countries when off the train you need to check their rules.

We didnt two weeks ago. I also found the contradiction, I reckon it's changed so much that they havent caught up.
The ET API section won't go green until you ve uploaded everything.

The French side also werent going to stamp our passports until we asked.

Just back last week , no test. PLF a real struggle to complete, passports very firmly stamped both directions, also asked if we had residency cards.

Thanks, both. It's a real nightmare, trying to negotiate everything! I'm French resident, so I do have a residence card. I know they *shouldn't* stamp my passport but, quite honestly, I just let them get on with it. It means nothing to me, apart from filling up my passport. If it makes them happy, I'm not going to spoil their day. If the Gendarmerie come knocking on my door, I'll just show them my residence card

Now, don't even get me started on pet passports!!

We will be doing it in May, sorry to ask but what is the "ET API section"?
Is it part of the locator form?
NB, I have the , as yet unused, French Covid App.
TIA

Yesterday, I looked at the rules for entering France from the UK then transiting to Greece via Germany, Switzerland and Italy. All that is required in addition to an up to date Covid passport is PLF to enter to France and a PLF for entry to Greece. No checks as far as I can see transiting through Europe. All we need now is a E.U. wide PLF to save people searching through each country requirement and then downloading their PLF.

Its the advance passenger information; where you used to list the passport details of all passengers has been expanded to include the covid pass etc.

Thank you, i've done this now, but have another question.
I booked my Eurotunnel travel via the CCC and have both their booking reference and Eutunnel one.
I have also created a Eurotunnel account.
Logging in , I can complete my basic information, done with ease but don't see any way to upload my French sworn statement etc. This I guess is that my account does not show my booking even though I have both the CCC refernce and the eurotunnel one.
Some confusion here.
I can of course contact the CCC but wondered if anybody on here had been there first and could advise?
TIA

when you fill in your passenger info there are places to share the FRench documentation and your Covid pass on to for each passenger

The passenger locator form to return to UK which has to be done online may be simplified for the Easter holidays but I reckon it should be scrapped. You can get get a paper proof of vaccination by ringing 112. The French form can be downloaded and filled in with ballpoint pen , doing it this way to is supposed to delay as its time consuming. I stand to be corrected on any points.

I booked mine through CAMC. Before I travelled I phoned them and they then had Eurotunnel issue a login and password to access the booking. With this you can then upload the various documentation requirements. I guess it is the same with CCC.

Yes , that sounds logical.
I've sent an email to the CCC.

I now understand that provision of only available if you have a booking.
What I now understand I have done is created an account which cannot retrieve my booking made via the CCC. My API only contains address and passport details.
As mentioned by another kind poster you need credentials to log into your booking from in my case the CCC.
I have requested this from them

Just crossed channel P&O ferries at French section only showed Covid pass NHS app and passport. English section just passport, Motorhome x3 passengers ski trip.
