One group agreement or destination policy can support many passport relationships. Dates are recorded only when an official source establishes them.

    Named ordinary passports: visa-free short visitor entry

    The current Saint-Martin Annex II directly lists these ordinary passports as visa-exempt for an ordinary short visit; all have the normal 90-days-in-180-days ceiling unless the schedule states a narrower rule.

    • For a visitor stay not exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period, except where the current Annex II gives a more favourable or narrower passport-specific limit. The listed 15-day Saint Lucia rule is separated below.
    • For AU, BR, JP, KR, MX, SG and US, the Annex II waiver does not cover a remunerated activity where French law requires a work authorisation and it is not produced. This candidate is limited to the ordinary short-visitor purpose.
    • For GB, this reflects the ordinary British Citizen passport baseline. The Annex II separately limits certain other British-nationality labels; special passports, residence/long-stay-visa waivers, crew and cruise exceptions, transit, public-order restrictions and final admission are not normalized here.
    • MF denotes Saint Martin (French part), a French overseas collectivity. This is not a Schengen-visa classification, and the table does not establish any electronic visa or routine visa-on-arrival issuance.

    Biometric ordinary passports: visa-free short visitor entry

    The current Saint-Martin Annex II limits the ordinary-passport waiver for these states to biometric passports.

    • Only an ordinary biometric passport qualifies. The current Annex II also excludes Serbian passports issued by the Serbian Coordination Directorate from the Serbian waiver.
    • The ordinary short-visitor waiver is up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Work, residence, transit, special passports, residence-document waivers, entry prohibitions and final admission remain outside this policy.

    Taiwan ordinary passports with identity-card number: visa-free short visitor entry

    The current Annex II limits Taiwan's ordinary-passport waiver to passports that contain an identity-card number.

    • The passport must have been issued by Taiwan and contain an identity-card number. The waiver is for an ordinary visitor stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
    • This does not normalize other Taiwan travel documents, work, residence, transit, special passports, entry prohibitions or final admission.

    Saint Lucia ordinary passports: limited visa-free short visitor entry

    The current Annex II gives Saint Lucia ordinary passports a specific shorter visa-free allowance.

    • Visa-free visits are limited to 15 days or less, with no more than 120 cumulative days in a 12-month period; this overrides the general 90-days-in-180-days framing.
    • Work, residence, transit, special passports, entry prohibitions and final admission remain outside this ordinary-passport visitor policy.

    Unlisted ordinary passports: advance territorial visa required

    For the listed ordinary passports, the current order requires a valid French visa because they are neither free-movement beneficiaries nor ordinary-passport entries in the exhaustive Saint-Martin Annex II waiver list.

    • This is the ordinary-passport, short-visitor baseline: the order requires a valid French visa where the Annex II waiver does not apply. The territorial visa is a French visa sticker bearing the collectivity for which it is valid, not an eVisa or standard visa on arrival.
    • A qualifying current French or fully Schengen-applying-state residence permit or long-stay visa can independently waive the Saint-Martin visa for up to 90 days in 180; that document-conditioned route is deliberately not normalized into these passport rows.
    • The Annex II has narrow pre-existing-French-visa, old-Vanuatu-passport, cruise, crew, transit, exceptional border-visa and special/diplomatic-passport exceptions. These do not change the unconditioned ordinary short-visitor baseline. A border visa is exceptional, requires unforeseeable imperative entry and may be valid no more than 15 days. Final admission remains for border authorities.
