    Montenegrin standard ordinary passports: visa-free French overseas short visits

    Every currently valid standard Montenegrin ordinary passport meets the biometric-passport predicate in each named French territorial Annex II, so it is visa-free for the ordinary short-visitor route.

    • Scope is only the standard passport issued to a Montenegrin citizen under the Travel Documents Law. The current law calls it an electronic public document and requires its chip to contain the facial photograph and two fingerprints; it identifies those as biometric data used at border crossing.
    • The law fixes standard validity at ten years, two years for a child under four, and one year where fingerprints are temporarily unobtainable. Those are still the statutory electronic passport, not a separate emergency or temporary travel-document class; the return-only travel certificate is expressly distinct and excluded.
    • The former Yugoslav passport is not a current counterexample: the Government's consular guidance records that FRY-form passports ceased to be valid on 31 December 2009. No extension route is used; a replacement is a newly issued statutory electronic passport.
    • The cited French Guiana, Réunion, Mayotte, French Polynesia and New Caledonia orders are separately applied. GF, RE and YT allow up to 90 days in 180 days; PF and NC allow three months in six months, subject to any more favourable circulation agreement and final admission.
    • Work, residence permits, third-country visas, transit, diplomatic/service, refugee/alien, seaman, identity-card and travel-certificate routes are outside this ordinary short-visitor baseline.
