FCDO updates travel advice for Martinique
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office has published updated safety and security advice for Martinique. British citizens can stay for up to 90 days without a visa for tourism or business, provided their passports are valid for at least 3 months after departure.
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office has updated its travel guidance for Martinique, focusing on new safety and security information. The department confirms that Martinique remains an Overseas Department of France and part of the European Union. These updates form part of the ongoing review of travel conditions for British nationals.
British citizens travelling to Martinique for tourism or business do not require a visa for stays of up to 90 days. Passports must be valid for at least 3 months after the planned departure date from the island. Those arriving from countries listed as a yellow fever transmission risk must present a vaccination certificate upon entry. UK residents living in Martinique are required to carry both their residence document and passport when entering and exiting the territory.
The guidance applies to all British visitors and residents planning travel to Martinique. The 90-day limit covers both tourism and business activities. Passport validity requirements are enforced at the point of entry and exit. Travellers should ensure their documents meet these specific criteria before departure.
