New
French Immigration Requirements
The
French authorities have informed the Government
of Anguilla that, in order to meet new French immigration
requirements, all travelers to French St Martin
will have to carry a valid, current passport as
from 1 July 2005. Anguillians with either an Anguillian
British Overseas Territories Citizen (BOTC) passport
(commonly known as an Anguillian passport) or a
British Citizen passport will be able to travel
without a French visa. But other nationals may
be subject to existing French immigration regulations
and should, if they are uncertain, check with the
French Embassy in St Lucia as to whether a French
Visa is required.
Detail
The
French authorities have said that they will insist
that all travelers must carry a valid, current
passport for entry into French St Martin as from
1 July ‘05. This rules out the use of Permanent
Residence or Belongership cards or any other form
of personal identification such as Temporary Travel
Permits, which may have been accepted before. The
French authorities also state that US Citizens
will have to carry a current, valid passport if
they wish to enter French St Martin.
The
French authorities have agreed that Anguillians
travelling on an Anguillian BOTC passport (commonly
known as an Anguillian passport) will not/not require
a French visa to enter French St Martin. However,
Anguillian BOTC passport holders will continue
to have to obtain a French visa to enter metropolitan
France and the French Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe,
Martinique and St Barts as before. British Citizen
and other European Union passport holders do not
require a visa to travel to the European Union
or the French Caribbean islands.
The
French authorities have said that they will also
insist that foreign nationals residing in Anguilla
must obtain a visa to travel to French St Martin
if they would normally have to have a visa to enter
France and the other French Caribbean islands.
Citizens of most Caribbean islands, Belize, and
Guyana amongst others may therefore have to obtain
a French visa if they wish to travel to French
St Martin. Foreign residents in Anguilla who travel
on a foreign passport other than a British Citizen
or BOTC (Anguillian) passport, should, if necessary,
check the French visa requirements for citizens
of their nationality with the French Embassy in
St Lucia (telno: 1 758 455 6060), which will issue
the necessary visas.
The
French authorities plan to enforce these requirements
as from 1 July ’05. The Government of Anguilla
is seeking an extension to this deadline but the
French authorities may insist on it.
The
French authorities have also indicated that there
may be other requirements, on which the Government
of Anguilla has sought further, urgent clarification.
The Government of Anguilla will work actively to
protect the close relationship that has long existed
between Anguilla and St Martin.
