"COVID SAFE TICKET"
WHAT? The Covid Safe Ticket is a certificate open to nationals of the European Union, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
Attention : The “Covid Safe Ticket” is only accessible to residents of member states of the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, the Schengen Area, Switzerland, Vatican City, Andorra, Monaco, and Liechtenstein.
Consequently, the residents of a country other than one mentioned above are not eligible for obtaining the Covid Safe Ticket. Therefore, they will not be allowed to take part in the Belgian Grand Prix 2021, that is, even if they are allowed to enter Belgian territory.
HOW? To obtain this “Covid Safe Ticket” certificate, you must meet one of the following 3 conditions:
- Be fully vaccinated (2 doses when so required by the vaccine) for more than two weeks.
OR
- Be in possession of a negative PCR test carried out no more than 48 hours prior to the day of attendance at the event. It is also possible that your test will reach expiry during the event. You will have the option then of having one or more tests (at your expense) carried out by healthcare professionals in the proximity of the Circuit. Further information will follow in the next few weeks.
- OR
- Be in possession of a certificate of recovery from Covid-19. The certificate of recovery is valid 10 days after the positive PCR test and has a duration of 6 months (180 days).
ATTENTION: The conditions for obtaining the "Covid Safe Ticket" may be different from conditions of access to Belgian territory. If you would like more detailed information concerning access conditions to Belgian territory, please consult the Foreign Affairs website of the SPF (Federal Public Service).
WHERE? The "Covid Safe Ticket" will be available on a smartphone app determined by your country. The app to download for Belgian visitors on your smartphone is: CovidSafeBE.
Henceforth, in order to gain access to the Belgian Grand Prix 2021, 3 documents will be required:

- The e-ticket preferably in hard (paper) copy. The e-ticket will be downloadable on your customer space during the month of July (for reservations already made). In order to download an e-ticket, you will first have to make it nominative, that’s to say that you will have to manually attribute each purchased e-ticket to a specific person.
WITHOUT THESE 3 DOCUMENTS, YOU WILL BE IMMEDIATELY REFUSED ACCESS TO THE SITE.
