Pratical information
You must have all the necessary documents (identity card, passport, visa, vaccination card) to be able to travel with peace of mind. You may be refused boarding, or entrance onto the territory if you do not have the correct documents. Be careful with expiry dates. For French citizens traveling around the regional area (from Grand Case airport to the French overseas territories, St. Barthelemy or from Paris to Grand Case airport and via Guadeloupe), an identity card is sufficient. In all other cases, you must travel with your passport because coming through Princess Juliana international airport is not considered as entering European territory.
Sint-Maarten is not European territory even if it is a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, it has a separate status. Depending on your nationality, you may also require a visa. Make sure you find out about all the relevant formalities before flying to St. Martin.
