Dominica and Saint Lucia are limited in every constituent territory to stays of no more than 15 days and 120 cumulative days in 12 months.","Brazil is visa-free for Guadeloupe and Martinique and separately for Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy; the French-Guiana exception does not alter this aggregate.
