Taiwan requires an identity-card number in the passport; HK and MO require their named SAR passports.","CH, IS, LI and NO follow equivalent free-movement treatment for the French access leg. Residence permits, refugee/stateless documents, border permits, school groups, paid activity, crew and special passports are not normalized into this ordinary-passport baseline.","No current source establishes a separate nationality-wide Monaco visitor visa rule for minors.
