Visa & Entry

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.

French law applies in Martinique. The island is 70km long and 30km wide with Mount Pelee (1,397m) at the northern end, an active volcano that destroyed the city of Saint-Pierre in 1902. The ruins of Saint-Pierre are a compelling day trip from Fort-de-France (35km north). Les Salines in the south has Martinique's most popular beach. The Balata Gardens, 10km from Fort-de-France, display 3,000 tropical plant species. Martinique produces AOC-labeled rum (rhum agricole) made from fresh sugarcane juice, and distillery tours at Clement, Depaz, and Saint-James are popular stops.

Direct flights from Miami (MIA) to Fort-de-France run about 3 hours 30 minutes on American Airlines. Air France and Air Caraibes connect through Paris Orly (about 8 hours 30 minutes). Inter-island ferries on L'Express des Iles connect Martinique to Guadeloupe (3 hours 30 minutes), Dominica (1 hour 30 minutes), and Saint Lucia (1 hour 30 minutes). Martinique uses the euro, trading at roughly $1.08 per EUR 1. Card payments work at most businesses. Prices are on par with metropolitan France plus import costs: a restaurant meal runs EUR 15 to EUR 30 ($16 to $32). Car rental is the practical way to explore: rates start at EUR 25 per day. Driving is on the right. French is the primary language.
