This records foreign ordinary-passport catalog mappings only, not French citizenship. - Up to 90 days; each overseas territory remains outside Schengen and has its own visa order. - A Schengen visa alone does not authorize overseas entry. - Excludes residence, work, transit, long-stay, diplomatic, official/service and special-document routes. Official sources: - [France-Visas, Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs: France-Visas: overseas short-stay visa](https://www.france-visas.gouv.fr/en/visa-de-court-sejour) - [French Ministry of the Interior: Ministry of the Interior: visas for overseas France](https://www.immigration.interieur.gouv.fr/limmigration-en-france/visas-en-france/visas-pour-loutre-mer) - **Current official route — EU, EEA, Swiss and French ordinary passports: visa-free short visits** (Visa-free) France-Visas and the Interior Ministry directly exempt EU, EEA and Swiss citizens from overseas visas. FR is visa_free, not citizenship: GF, FW, YT and RE are territorial destination codes rather than France itself. - Ordinary passport held as a citizen of the listed EU, EEA or Swiss state, for a visitor stay up to 90 days. - This does not normalize residence, work, family-member residence cards, identity-document alternatives, transit, special passports or final admission. - All four catalog destinations are outside Schengen; the classification follows free-movement rights rather than a Schengen visa. Official sources: - [France-Visas, French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs: France-Visas: Short-stay visas for non-European French territories](https://www.france-visas.gouv.fr/en/visa-de-court-sejour) - [French Ministry of the Interior, Directorate-General for Foreign Nationals: French Ministry of the Interior: Overseas visas](https://www.immigration.interieur.gouv.fr/limmigration-en-france/visas-en-france/visas-pour-loutre-mer) - [France-Visas, Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs: France-Visas: France and the Schengen Area](https://france-visas.gouv.fr/en/la-france-dans-l-espace-schengen) - **Current official route — Taiwan ordinary passports: named visa-free short visits** (Visa-free) Taiwan MOFA BOCA's current outbound schedule places these destinations in its visa-free category for Taiwanese travellers. - This is the ordinary Taiwanese-passport short-visitor baseline recorded in BOCA's current visa-free schedule; destination rules, stay limits and entry conditions can change. - It excludes work, residence, transit-only facilities, emergency or other non-ordinary travel documents, carrier controls and individual final-admission decisions. Official source: - [Bureau of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of China (Taiwan): Taiwan MOFA BOCA: destinations available visa-free, visa on arrival, or by eVisa](https://www.boca.gov.tw/fp-37-220-9f130-1.html) - **Current official route — French West Indies aggregate: shared ordinary-passport visa-free short visits** (Visa-free) The current Guadeloupe/Martinique and Saint-Martin/Saint-Barthélemy Annex II schedules each waive a short-stay visa for these ordinary passports; the aggregate result is visa-free only where all four constituent territories have the same nationality baseline. - For this upstream aggregate, French West Indies means Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy. The two governing orders are separate; this policy retains only ordinary-passport waivers common to both territorial schedules. - The ordinary visitor waiver is for no more than 90 days in any 180-day period unless the row states a narrower limit. 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. Australia, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Singapore, the United States and Venezuela retain the schedules' paid-activity/work-authorisation exception. - This is a nationality-and-ordinary-passport visitor baseline only. It does not establish work, residence, paid activity, transit, cruise, biometric/document-specific, diplomatic, official/service, special-document or final-admission treatment. A Schengen visa alone is not sufficient for these territories.

An overseas-territory visa is required through the normal pre-travel route; a narrowly discretionary border visa does not create a nationality entitlement. - The result is the ordinary visitor baseline across all four constituent territories, not a Schengen classification. The normal visa route is territory-specific and pre-travel; a narrowly exceptional, discretionary border visa does not alter this baseline. A Schengen short-stay visa alone does not authorize entry. - Bahrain, Belarus, China, India, Indonesia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Thailand may have a separate waiver when the traveller holds the specified valid French-consular multiple-entry visa (six months to five years). That third-document condition does not change this ordinary-passport baseline. - Valid French/Schengen residence or long-stay documents, cruise/transit treatment, diplomatic and service passports, and other individual exceptions remain conditional and are not normalized into this policy.

IDDEEA identifies the civil passport as biometric; the governing passport law fixes its validity and keeps the temporary no-fingerprint route within the electronic travel-document regime. - The French current Annex II schedules waive Bosnia and Herzegovina biometric passports: Guadeloupe/French Guiana/Réunion, Mayotte, French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and both Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy. The FW aggregate is uniform because the Guadeloupe/Martinique and Saint-Martin/Saint-Barthélemy component schedules use the same Bosnia biometric-passport condition. - The French maximum is 90 days in 180 days for GF, FW, YT and RE, and three months in six months for PF and NC. Work, residence, transit, diplomatic, service, refugee/stateless, travel-certificate and final-admission rules are outside this ordinary visitor classification.

Moldova has issued such passports exclusively with biometric data since 1 January 2011; the passport authority specifies electronic storage including facial biometric data and fixed 4/7/10-year terms. - No legacy extension creates a current non-biometric ordinary passport: Moldova MFA states passports are not extended, and the passport authority records that the former adult term was seven years before its 2018 increase. The child and medically impossible-fingerprint routes are still passport issuance routes with electronic biometric data; temporarily impossible fingerprints produce a one-year passport. - The French current Annex II schedules waive Moldovan biometric passports in Guadeloupe/French Guiana/Réunion, Mayotte, French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and both Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy. The FW aggregate is uniform because both its component schedules use the same Moldovan biometric-passport condition. - The French maximum is 90 days in 180 days for GF, FW, YT and RE, and three months in six months for PF and NC. Work, residence, transit, diplomatic, service, refugee/stateless, travel-certificate and final-admission rules are outside this ordinary visitor classification.
