US passport holders enter Martinique visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Martinique is an overseas department of France, and US citizens benefit from the same visa-free access that applies to metropolitan France. Passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure. Martinique is not part of the Schengen area, so time spent here does not count against your Schengen 90-day limit. At Martinique Aime Cesaire International Airport (FDF) in Fort-de-France, immigration stamps your passport.

The Balata Gardens, 10km from Fort-de-France, display 3,000 tropical plant species.
