Rules in force · 9
  • Oceania ↗Oceania's island states guard their farms and reefs at the border: tick 'yes' on the arrival card for any food, plant, animal product, soil or used outdoor gear, and let the officer decide.
  • Oceania ↗Across the tropical South Pacific, cyclones are possible from November to April: choose insurance that covers weather delays and keep one spare night before a long-haul departure.
  • Polynesia ↗In much of Polynesia Sunday is kept for church and family: expect shops, tours and some flights to stop, and dress and behave quietly in villages.
  • Niue ↗Entry rules are Niue's own: many visitors get a permit on arrival with an onward ticket and booked accommodation, but check Niue immigration for your passport. Travelling through Auckland may require an NZeTA or transit visa; check New Zealand's rules too.
  • Niue ↗Declare food, plant and animal products on arrival; Niue protects its crops from pests.
  • Niue ↗Sea tracks cross village and family land: follow local signs, some charge an access fee, and some are closed on Sundays.
  • Alofi and the west coast ↗Sunday is a rest day: shops, cafés and dive operators close, so plan food and the flight around it.
  • Alofi ↗Sunday is a rest day: most shops, cafés and dive operators close, so plan the arrival, the flight home and the food shopping around it.
  • Alofi ↗There is no public transport, ride-hailing or metered taxi: your host or a hire firm arranges the airport pickup and a hire car for the island; ask how to get the local driving permit when you book.
