Guadeloupe : à savoir avant de partir
L’essentiel
- Guadeloupe is outside Schengen; check the territorial validity of your visa.
- Demonstrations may disrupt transport; follow current local notices.
Entrée et visas
Guadeloupe is a French overseas department outside Schengen. British visitors can stay visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism or business. Check French overseas visa requirements for other passports; a Schengen visa alone may not cover the trip. Keep onward travel, accommodation and funds evidence ready.
Validité du passeport: UK advice: at least 3 months beyond planned departure; rules differ for EU citizens.
