U.S. and Canadian citizens only need a valid passport and do not need a VISA to enter French Polynesia. Citizens of all other countries may need a VISA in addition to a valid passport and should consult the nearest French Consulate or French Embassy as early as possible. Travelers who a required to have a VISA to enter French Polynesia should apply as early as possible because it can take several weeks to obtain a VISA. It is solely the passenger’s responsibility to ensure that all needed documents are complete and up to date for valid entry into the country.

We offer a comprehensive trip insurance program through Travelex (available for residents of the United States only) or you can purchase your own trip insurance directly through a number of different providers.From $139 per person (slightly higher for persons over age 61) for our standard protection insurance (Travelex’s Travel Lite Policy). The travel insurance can be purchased any time up to the time of final payment. However, if purchased within 10 days of your deposit, Travelex will waive any pre-existing medical conditions that could cause you to cancel your trip.
