French Guiana Practical information

Visas

Passports are obligatory for all visitors, except those from France. Visitors should also have a yellow-fever vaccination certificate. Australian, New Zealand, Japanese, EU and US nationals, among others, do not need a visa for stays up to ninety days. Those who need visas should apply with two passport photos at a French embassy and be prepared to show an onward or return ticket; the cost is about US$40. Officially, all visitors, even French citizens, should have onward or return tickets, though they may not be checked at land borders.
