Tokelauöarna: bra att veta före resan

Det viktigaste

  • 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.

Inresa och visum

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.
