Julön: bra att veta före resan

Det viktigaste

  • From mainland Australia, every passenger needs photo ID; a passport is recommended for possible overseas diversions. International arrivals follow Australian entry rules.
  • Pre-book transport: vehicles are limited and some roads close during the red-crab migration.
  • Follow island quarantine requirements even when travelling from mainland Australia.

Inresa och visum

No separate passport or visa is needed for travel from the Australian mainland, but photo ID is required, including for children. For arrivals from outside Australia, carry a valid passport and the appropriate Australian visa where required.

Vid gränsen kan man fråga efter

  • Yachts must clear quarantine, customs and immigration before anyone disembarks.

Tull

  • Check island restrictions on food, plants and animal goods before packing.
