جزر كوكوس (كيلينغ): ما يجب معرفته قبل السفر

الأهم

  • From mainland Australia, photo ID is required for every passenger, including children. Carry a passport in case of an overseas diversion.
  • International arrivals follow Australian immigration rules; confirm the appropriate visa before departure.
  • Bring AUD cash: official pages disagree about ATM availability. Do not rely on cash withdrawal after arrival.

الدخول والتأشيرات

Mainland-Australia arrivals do not need a separate Cocos passport or visa, but every traveller needs photo ID. Arriving from outside Australia follows normal Australian immigration rules, including a valid passport and the appropriate Australian visa where required. Keep accommodation confirmed and check your route’s clearance arrangements.
