Tokelau : à savoir avant de partir

L’essentiel

  • Arrange entry permission, accommodation and confirmed sea passage through the Tokelau authorities before travelling.
  • Bring sufficient New Zealand-dollar cash; do not rely on cards or ATMs.

Entrée et visas

Non-New Zealand citizens need an appropriate current permit. The immigration regulations provide visitor permits for up to ten days; longer stays require an appropriate permit category. Arrange permission with the Tokelau authorities and accommodation approved by the relevant village council. Check Samoa entry/transit requirements separately for the sea connection.
