United States (Green Card) visiting France (Schengen) — pick your passport

Permanent residency in United States lets you re-enter United States, but it does not by itself grant visa-free entry to other countries. The visa rules for your trip to France (Schengen) are determined by the passport you hold — not your PR status. Pick your country of citizenship below to see accurate requirements.

Notes for permanent residents

You travel on the passport of your country of citizenship — your United States (Green Card) card is not a travel document for entry to France (Schengen).
Carry your PR card on the return trip — it's required to re-enter United States.
Some destinations recognize PR status in narrow cases (e.g., transit, visa-on-arrival eligibility). Check the destination's official source for confirmation.
