Mayotte residents: visa requirements using a France passport

Travel and entry information updated October 14, 2026. Confirm requirements with the relevant authorities.

Mayotte does not issue its own passport

Mayotte is an overseas department of France, outside the Schengen Area: residents travel on a France passport, not a separate "Mayotte" passport. A few destinations apply different rules to Mayotte than to France even though it's the same document; where they don't, the numbers below match the France passport's own data.

Travel guide

Mayotte is an archipelago among the East African Islands, lying in the Indian Ocean channel between Madagascar and Mozambique. It's a French overseas department with a population of 299,348 in 2022. Most live on the large island of Grande-Terre, which somewhat resembles a sea horse, used on Mayotte's coat of arms. A 2 km channel separates it from Petite-Terre, also urbanised; the other islets are tiny with only a handful of residents.
