France passport: visa-free countries & requirements
127 visa-free destinations · 56 visa on arrival, eVisa, or ETA
Worldwide counts use the full VisaGlance dataset. This page focuses on 60 tracked top destinations; self-country rows are omitted where relevant.
France's passport stands at the pinnacle of travel freedom: 127 countries welcome French citizens without advance visas, plus 38 more grant e-visas or instant authorizations on arrival. This unmatched mobility reflects centuries of French influence and France's role as a pillar of the European Union.
Visa results start from a historical January 2025 base matrix with limited, documented corrections. A mapped destination-level source provides context only; it does not independently verify a passport-destination result.
