Nya Kaledonien: bra att veta före resan
Det viktigaste

- Declare food, plants and animal products; local biosecurity rules differ from mainland France.
- Carry XPF cash outside Nouméa and check local safety and road conditions before travelling.
Inresa och visum
Entry rules differ from metropolitan France and other overseas territories. EU/EEA/Swiss citizens and other exempt nationalities can make short tourist visits without a visa; other travellers need the appropriate overseas visa. Use France-Visas for your specific case, including residence-document exceptions. Carry a passport and the required supporting documents.
Tull
- Declare plants, animals and food on arrival; some goods are prohibited or require certificates.
