Other Mayotte ordinary passports: advance territory visa required
The current Mayotte order requires a valid territory-specific visa unless an Annex II nationality exemption applies. This covers the ordinary-passport baseline after direct waivers and genuinely unresolved biometric rows are removed.
- A valid visa must cover Mayotte; a Schengen visa alone does not authorize the territory. France-Visas' online workflow is application filing, not eVisa issuance.
- French multi-entry-visa, residence-permit, long-stay visa, cruise, transit, crew, special/diplomatic/service passport and individual-admission exceptions remain conditional and do not change this ordinary-passport baseline.
- Georgia's former Annex II exemption was removed effective June 2025. Vanuatu's waiver is restricted to pre-25-May-2015 ordinary passports, so it cannot establish a current unqualified ordinary-passport exemption.
