To join the French Foreign Legion, you need to travel to France and apply in person at a recruitment centre. You will go through medical checks, fitness tests, logic tests and interviews. If you are selected, your first contract is for five years and you will start basic training at the 4th Foreign Regiment.
When I joined in 2012, I found the process confusing. This guide explains what to prepare, what to bring and what happens after you walk through the gate. It also includes the small things I wish someone had told me before I left home.
1. Check the requirements and prepare seriously
You do not need a school diploma. You do need to read and write in your own language. Your fitness, health, test results, motivation and behaviour all matter. A good running time will not make up for a bad attitude.
How old do you need to be?
Experience
Based on the recruitment information I use, the age range to plan around is 17 years and 6 months to 39 years and 6 months. If you are near the upper limit, do not wait until the last minute. Leave time for selection and signing your contract.
Under 18, you need extra paperwork from your parents or legal guardians. If you are only a few months away from your 18th birthday, my advice is to use that time to prepare and arrive as an adult.
Recruitment in 2026
The planning figure I reported for 2026 is about 1,100 new recruits. With roughly 8,000 volunteers presenting themselves in a year, that gives you an idea of the competition. It is not a calculation of your personal chances.
You need to arrive ready. The Legion can choose between candidates, so meeting a minimum does not mean you will be selected. I explain the figures and the preparation advice in my 2026 recruitment article.
My advice on fitness and BMI
If you cannot do four clean pull-ups, do not buy your plane ticket yet. Aim for at least ten, and train with the Luc Léger beep test before you go. These are preparation targets from me, not a promise that a certain score gets you in.
The published BMI range is 18 to 30. BMI is your weight in kilograms divided by your height in metres squared.
Experience
My advice is to arrive lean and fit, with a BMI around 25 or below if you are carrying extra body fat. At a BMI close to 30, you will usually be in a weaker position than a leaner, well-prepared candidate, unless you are particularly muscular and very fit. That is my practical assessment of the competition, not an official BMI limit.
Judge your running and pull-ups as well as your weight. You are preparing for military training, not a bodybuilding competition.
2. Choose a recruitment centre
If you are flying into Paris, Fort de Nogent in Fontenay-sous-Bois is a practical option. It is outside central Paris. This is where I arrived, and you can read that part of my story.
You can also present yourself in Aubagne. Other information posts are listed in the official recruitment-centre directory. Check the address and opening hours of the exact centre you choose.
Have a plan for getting home if you are not selected. When I joined, candidates who had come through Paris could be sent back there after failing in Aubagne. Do not build your travel budget around getting a free ticket today. Ask what applies to your situation.
Download your route before leaving home. Check it again when you arrive, especially if there are transport disruptions. Getting to France is your responsibility, so allow time and money for the whole journey.
3. Prepare your documents
Official Information
For Schengen nationals, and nationals of Ireland, Cyprus, the UK, Monaco and Andorra, the Legion lists a national ID card or passport. Other candidates need a passport. Read the official document requirements for your situation.
Bring the original passport or ID, not just a photo or copy. A residence permit does not replace the required passport. A birth certificate showing your parents is needed for identity regularisation before the end of your first year. These points are explained in the official recruitment FAQ.
Under 18: bring handwritten consent from both parents or legal guardians, copies of their IDs, and any applicable death or emancipation documents. Foreign minors need the required documents translated into French by an accredited translator.
Useful supporting papers include your driving licence, birth and family records, qualifications and military service records. Bring records of past surgery or illness, your health booklet if available, and glasses if you use them.
My advice before you leave
Bring a birth certificate now if you can get one easily. If an official French version is available in your country, take it. Keep your papers together in a folder, with copies stored safely for yourself.
Separate the paperwork needed for recruitment from the paperwork needed to travel. A document the Legion accepts at its desk is not automatically enough to board a plane or enter France. Check your own travel and visa requirements before booking. The Legion does not arrange your visa, invitation or flight.
If you have served in another army, bring your service papers. Do not turn up with a complicated administrative situation and expect someone else to sort it out for you.
4. Pack your bag
Keep it simple. Bring useful clothes and basic washing kit, not a bag full of things you bought to look like a soldier.
Official Information
The official packing list includes sports shoes, toiletries and three changes of underwear, T-shirts and socks. It sets a cash limit of €70 and prohibits weapons, including knives.
Experience
I still recommend seven pairs of underwear and seven pairs of socks. Three is too little for comfort during basic training. You receive underwear in Aubagne, but in my experience it is not very comfortable. Bring your own and think beyond your first few days of selection.
- Two or three T-shirts. Simple clothes that are easy to wash.
- Seven pairs of underwear and seven pairs of socks. Choose comfort.
- A good pair of running shoes. Wear them before you travel.
- A towel and shower slippers.
- Soap or shower gel, a toothbrush and toothpaste.
- A razor, spare blades and shaving gel.
- Washing soap and a small brush. You may need to wash clothes by hand.
- A little toilet paper. There is usually some available, but not always.
- A small notebook and pen. Write down important phone numbers.
- A small French dictionary and a book to read. There can be a lot of waiting.
- A simple set of civilian clothes. Think about the season when you may next use them.
- A small amount of cash within the €70 limit.
A few things you should not forget
Write your parents’, siblings’ and friends’ phone numbers in your notebook. So you won’t be like an idiot when you have the chance to call home and realise all the numbers are on a phone you cannot use.
Leave your laptop and tablet at home. Ask someone to send them later, once you have finished basic training and know what your regiment allows.
Do not bring a knife, multitool, uniform or a load of tactical equipment to impress anyone. You are going there to become a soldier. You do not need to dress up as one before you arrive.
The official list also says not to bring vehicle or house keys and lists jewellery and valuables as unnecessary. Arrange these things before leaving home.
5. Arrive at the recruitment centre
Fort de Nogent and Aubagne are listed as open 24 hours a day. Smaller information posts have their own office hours. My advice is to arrive on a weekday during the day, preferably in the morning. It is easier for you and the people receiving you. Check the centre directory before travelling.
At the gate, explain that you want to join the French Foreign Legion. Expect your identity documents and bag to be checked. Follow instructions and keep your important papers easy to reach.
You may be asked to do pull-ups early in the process. Be ready to show clean repetitions rather than trying to argue that a half-rep should count. I explain the preparation in the selection fitness guide.
Then expect to wait. There may be forms, interviews, small jobs and more waiting. You may also meet candidates who are much stronger than you. Do not let that destroy your motivation. Fitness matters, but it is not the only thing they are looking at.
6. Prepare for the medical checks
Know your medical history and bring the papers that explain it. Have your teeth checked before leaving. Getting a problem treated at home is easier than discovering it during selection.
Expect a medical examination and urine testing. A doctor may also examine your genitals. Do not be surprised by it. The purpose is to assess whether you are fit for service.
Experience
My advice about protein shakes stays the same: do not spend the weeks before selection drinking them day and night. Eat properly and keep your preparation sensible. Supplements will not make up for poor training.
If a urine test shows excess protein, the doctor may ask for further checks. That does not automatically mean kidney disease, and you cannot assume protein powder caused the result. Urine protein can rise for several reasons, including hard exercise. Let the doctor interpret the test.
Read the medical tests guide for more detail. A blog can help you prepare, but the recruiting doctor decides your medical fitness.
7. Pass the main selection tests in Aubagne
If you start in Paris and pass preselection, you continue to Aubagne. Staff will give you the travel instructions. Do not plan your trip around an old claim that transfers always happen on a certain day.
Fitness tests
Official Information
The official tests page lists overhand pull-ups and the Luc Léger beep test. It gives level 5 as the minimum for Luc Léger and strongly recommends being able to swim 25 metres without help.
- Pull-ups: use an overhand grip, start with straight arms and return to the bottom between repetitions. Train clean pull-ups.
- Luc Léger: practise the actual beep test. Pacing and turning matter as well as your general running fitness.
- Swimming: arrive able to swim at least 25 metres without assistance. Prepare for this as well.
My preparation targets are higher than the published minimum: aim for at least ten clean pull-ups and around level 10 on Luc Léger. These targets come from my advice to candidates. They do not guarantee selection.
Logic tests and interviews
Practise logic questions so you understand how to work through them under time pressure. You do not need specialist knowledge, but practice can help you work faster. The IQ test guide explains what to work on.
You will also answer questions about your life and why you want to join. Know your own reasons. Do not arrive with a speech copied from the internet. Listen to the question and answer it clearly.
The Legion is looking for people who can serve and complete their contract. Explain why you want that life and show it in how you behave during selection.
Legion Training
Prepare for selection.
Get ready for the French Foreign Legion with practical training tools.
8. Start your life as a legionnaire
Waiting for the final decision is a moment you will remember. If you are selected and complete the joining formalities, basic training comes next. Passing selection is the beginning of the job.
You go to the 4th Foreign Regiment in Castelnaudary for about four months of initial training. This is where the practical things in your bag, including those extra pairs of underwear, become useful.
If you want to understand what the life feels like, start with my stories from the beginning. You can also read about pay in the French Foreign Legion and the career path.
Prepare seriously, keep your head clear and arrive ready to work.
LegionStories is an unofficial website. I served in the French Foreign Legion from 2012 to 2020 and continue to keep my knowledge of the Legion up to date thanks to my current job and friends.

Hi Aron,
Are Singapore citizens allowed to to join The French Foreign Legion?
I heard that The FFL stopped accepting men from Singapore since 2022. Not sure whether this is true. Do you have any information about this?
Do I have to take the covid vaccines to join The FFL?
And when a man is accepted into The FFL, what vaccines does he have to take during his service in The FFL?
And regarding the missing tooth requirement (max 4 to 6), does it include wisdom tooth previous extracted?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Daniel

Aron,
First of all THANK YOU for all the detailed information we can find on this webpage its really inspiring. I have a question, you already mentioned that you recommend to enlist in Paris but is there a difference is you go directly to Aubagne to enlist?
Does it matter which way you turn your hands on the bar for the pull up test?

Hello there,
I have some questions about my eyesight. I had normal eye surgery as a toddler to remove some white clouds from my left eye due to may be some dust on my eyes. As a result, I have a few scars that make it a bit difficult for me to see as clearly as a normal eye, but I have no problems with either eye. Is there any chance to get selected?
hello when you arrive do you hand over your mobile or not allowed to contact family while in training please
Is there a blood test when you join
Hi,
I am wondering if having Eczema would cause you to fail the medical exam.
I have read in some countries you can’t join the military if you have Eczema and I am wondering if the Legion is the same.

Hi Aron my name is conn I’m 22 and looking to join foreign legion I was rejected from Irish army due to colour blindness I’m not severely colour blind just any sort of colour blindness is unacceptable to Irish army what is the foreign legions stance on it?
French Foreign Legion Color Blindness Requirements
C-4:
Hesitation between GREEN and RED color, but comply with the TCCP test (Test de Capacité Chromatique Professionnelle)
– the TCCP test examines in detail your real degree of color blindness
– that degree has to be in accordance with your qualification required for various specialities of the C4 level
C-3 (airborne forces):
NO hesitation between GREEN and RED color
– you are allowed to fail the Ishihara Color Vision Test (a color perception test), but you have to recognize RED and GREEN colors surely in the lantern test
C-2 (commandos):
– you are allowed to fail the Ishihara Color Vision Test, but you have to recognize all the basic colors in the Beyne lantern test
Hey i got some dental problems can i join FFL with this problem or i must fix it before i go there?
Fix your problems before going.
Hi, Sam from India going this year. I am worried about 2 thinks –
1. I am just 5’2″ rather short – but I can do about 50 pull ups in a go (I play water polo so kind of used to pull ups) – will this be a problem at the pull up test during pre-selection
2. I am 32 years old – is that too old for the legion ?
Thanks for this awesome website
Hi i can’t swim can i join ?
How can I join …can I get the link to apply
Greetings,
This is Nathan from the United States. I am presently pursing my degree in Anthropological and linguistic studies, after which point I am considering enlisting in the French Foreign Legion if the time comes that I feel I need to do my part. I attempted to join the US military but they turned me away for some scars on my arm and a stroke at birth that does not in the least constitute any mental or physical effects on my day to day life. Would I still be able to join the FFL?
Hey,
I’m sorry, but I can’t give a straight answer for medical questions, but if the US military turned you away, it’s not a good sign.
bin deutscher 20 jahre alt ich habe keinen abschluss und kein zeugnis ?
hab ich trotzdem eine change Legionaire zuwerden
What about 25m swimming people are saying now this is mandatory
100m, 20 under water. Mandatory.
PO track, under 5 minutes.
2400m
Cord.
Traction’s.
Tir.
I think he was asking rather for the selection process. I don’t know if they put it back since this Covid thing or not, but in a normal case you have to swim 25m without any help. If you fail, you go home
I have a normal life in Sweden. Family, job, apartment etc. If I join FFL and pass the selection, will I then have time to deal with those things? If I fail selection, then I dont want to have quitted my job, got rid of my home etc. How does it work? If I go to france, I will need my phone, creditcard etc in order to get there. Will I get it back after the selection if I succed? If I fail? Is it even legal to take my personal belongings? Thank you for answers!
Jag är svensk i legionen just nu.
Du ska inte ens tänka tanken på att gå med om du har dessa funderingar nu. Du kommer inte ha tid. Helt beroende på vilket regemente du hamnar på, beroende på din placering i gruppen. Om du går så långt att du kommer förbi uttagningarna. Så kommer du som bäst att ha helger fria, under hela första året.
Hi there, I’m interested in joining the French foreign legion. But I suffer from seizures since 2015 ( l’épilepsie en Français) it’s under control by medication. Does that affect my medical test for joining. Because I can’t find anything about it on this site or on the official site of the French foreign legion. Speaking French should not be a problem, my maternal language is Dutch but I’m from Belgium so I was tought French in school as well. It just needs refreshing. Neither should be the other tests since I did them for the Belgian army (left after 2 year contract ended) and I’ve been keeping myself in shape working in other industries and working out.
Hi, Aron I am Alex Katwan from Papua New Guinea
I’m very Interested to join French Foreign Legion
You think its possible for me to join?
Due to covid do you have to contact via email? before knocking on the door.
You was speaking about pull ups test then proceeded to change to talking about push ups. Which one is it? Also what steps do you think make you stand out more as a person in the selecting process? And I’m also assuming a standard fit person can pass right now because of Covid
HI Im from nepal 30 years old I’m intrest to join franch military but how can I join us any system ya anybody idea plase repaly me
Hello Binod. To join the FFL you just need to turn up at a training centre. Paris I believe is the better one to go to. Dont have anymore than 50€ cash no cards and minimal luggage 3 Tshirts 3 boxer 3 socks 3 shorts. Ensure you have the correct documents and ID.
Hello do you need to take your full medical history??
Or do they just do a medical on you during selection??
Keeping in contact with children is that easy whilst in selection??
What would you recommend in terms of running what distance and time??
I really want to join I’m 36 so to old for british army also have minor convictions so FFL is my best option to fulfill my dream in the army. I speak both English and Spanish does this help at all?? Do they teach you French as well??
What if you have all your teeth removed can you still join
Non

Is there an email for the recruiting center,? I’m trying g to find my son. I haven’t heard from him in 7 months. Thanks
Hey, probably the best way to contact someone who could answer your question is to write them via facebook or Instagram
I mean 39.6years old
If I am 39.6,can I still join the french foreign legion?
Bonjour, La Legion etrangere : If they like you, (fit in) internationally

Hey, I wrote a complete article about medical questions, you’ll find the answer here:
https://legionstories.com/medical-tests-french-foreign-legion/
I was wondering should you get a visa..even if you get a 90 day visa from the airport..and decide to go to the paris location..and get selected..boom now your in bootcamp but somehow you decide to quit and leave and your over your 90 days on the visa?..would you get arrested?
No. You’ll have a contract with the French Army and a military ID card you can use to certify your identity.
Do they stop recruiting during December for Christmas and New year’s? If so when do they shut down recruiting for the year and when do they resume in 2021?
Usually it stops during the week before Christmas and restarts the first week of the year.
You can go to a recruitment center whenever you want, but you should be aware of the fact that the recruitment process could be longer than usual.

Hi
I am from Afghanistan but i live in france is it possible for an Afghan Citizen to join FFL with Afghanistan passport?
You can try
Greeting, sir! I just wanted to express my gratitude for your time and efford to create the most informative site about FFL in such an understandable language(for bloody civvies like meself). I “escaped” mandatory service(in a legal way) in my home country some ten years ago and I tried all kinds of educations, jobs and relationships too, none have ever filled the need to be a part of something like the FFL. Did some rough living in my early 20s, bit I plan to beat myself in shape in a few years(and finish yet another pointless university degree that I started) and by the time I’m 34(now 31) I can have the confidence to apply. In your opinion, do my chances of getting accepted dwindle by a lot with each passing year, or do I just have to be in the 39.5 limit to be on an even start with the other applicants? I highly appreciate your opinion, and thanks again for the great website!
Can i ring home at anytime
Howzit, I joined the legion april 2019 but dropped out before going rouse, am I am able to rejoin?

Does taking prescribed medication from a doctor for treatment of ADD/ADHD disqualify you?
Si.

A tooth missing isn’t a problem. Check out if you can travel to France from your country. If the answer is yes, it means that you can apply.
