France Updates Travel Advisory Following US Gender Recognition Policy

French citizens are advised to state their 'gender assigned at birth' on US visa and ESTA applications, reflecting concerns over new US entry rules.

France's foreign ministry has issued a travel advisory recommending its citizens state their 'gender assigned at birth' when applying for US visas or ESTA.
The advisory strongly encourages travelers to check the US Embassy website for updates on potential changes to entry requirements.
This follows a US executive order signed by President Donald Trump mandating gender recognition based solely on birth assignment, eliminating non-binary options on official documentation.
While no French citizens have been denied entry due to gender-related issues, Denmark has warned transgender individuals of potential entry denials under the new policy.
The US entry process remains uncertain, as final admission decisions are made by border officials, even for those with valid visas or ESTA approvals.
