Saint Pierre and Miquelon has its own visa policy, explicitly separate from Schengen — a Schengen visa is generally not valid here and vice versa. Nationals of the EU/EFTA, Schengen Annex II countries, Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia and Nauru get 90-day visa-free entry; others (e.g. China, India, South Africa, Fiji) do not. Travellers continuing on to Canada by boat should also check Canada's eTA requirement.
Transit visa requirements vary by nationality and change frequently. Always verify with the official embassy or consulate of Saint Pierre and Miquelon before travel.
