جزر كوك: ما يجب معرفته قبل السفر
الأهم
- Most international tourists receive a 31-day visitor permit on arrival without applying for a visa first; carry onward travel, funds and accommodation evidence.
- Carry NZD cash for the outer islands: card payments and ATMs are concentrated on Rarotonga and Aitutaki.

Immigration describes the international permit for stays of less than 31 days. No advance visa is required for qualifying short tourist visits; confirm the exact expiry at entry and apply separately for extensions.
