Visas for the French West Indies - Info

Hi everyone,

Happy New Year to you all. I can't believe that January is almost over - I haven't been on YF in over a month - been working too hard.

I'm on the hunt for some information on visas for the French West Indies. I know as Americans most of you don't need them, so I'm looking for any other South Africans out there who have been through this process.

We are trying to get visa for the FWI but do not have an exact itinerary to present to the French Consulate. The owner cannot commit to an itinerary so far in advance.
How do we get around this?
Does anyone know if they issue visas for multiple entries say over a year?
Has anyone had a similar experience?

We are due to fly thru Miami fairly soon, and I was hoping to get these visas taken care of, but if they're only going to give me a month.... I'd rather leave it until closer to the time.

Thanks in advance!
