How long can I remain as a visitor in St. Maarten?

Based on your nationality and type of visa (if required), you have an allotted time in which you can stay in St. Maarten.

For most visitors, the general maximum stay is 30 uninterrupted days. Dutch nationals and American nationals have an allowable stay of maximum 6 months uninterrupted with a possibility for extension.

Canadians, European Union nationals, Australians, New Zealanders and Japanese nationals have an allowable stay of maximum 3 months uninterrupted with a possibility for extension.

Requesting an extension of stay

Any tourist who wishes to stay longer than their allotted time can request an extension; however, the possibility to obtain an extension can differ for those visa-required travelers.

All tourists who have received an approved extension of stay must have medical insurance valid for the duration of the extended stay.
