Saint Pierre and Miquelon Visa Information for Dallas Travelers
U.S. passport holders generally do not need a short-stay visa for visits to Saint Pierre and Miquelon lasting no more than 90 days within a 180-day period. The islands are a French overseas territory, but they are not part of the Schengen Area, so travelers should not automatically apply the same rules used for metropolitan France or other Schengen destinations. Different requirements can apply to employment, paid activities, longer stays, or travelers using a non-U.S. passport.
AA Passport & Visa Expedite Services helps Dallas and Richardson travelers prepare their U.S. passports and supporting travel documents before visiting Saint Pierre and Miquelon. If your passport is expired, damaged, or needs renewal before your trip, our team can help you review the available options. Travelers connecting through Canada should also check Canadian transit or entry requirements for their particular route. For passport and travel-document assistance, call 972-231-1600.

Register your trip on-line with the U.S. Embassy in this country. Millions of Americans travel abroad every year and encounter no difficulties. However, U.S. embassies and consulates assist nearly 200,000 Americans each year who are victims of crime, accident, or illness, or whose family and friends need to contact them in an emergency. When an emergency happens, or if natural disaster, terrorism, or civil unrest strikes during your foreign travel, the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can be your source of assistance and information. By registering your trip, you help the embassy or consulate locate you when you might need them the most. Registration is voluntary and costs nothing, but it should be a big part of your travel planning and security.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do U.S. citizens need a visa for Saint Pierre and Miquelon?
For ordinary short visits of up to 90 days within a 180-day period, U.S. passport holders are generally exempt from a short-stay visa. Different requirements can apply to employment or longer stays.

No. Although Saint Pierre and Miquelon is a French overseas territory, it is outside the Schengen Area. Travelers should follow the entry rules specifically applicable to the territory.
