French Polynesia has been closed to foreign tourism since February 3 and for a minimum period of two months. Travel are authorized only for travelers who can justify one of the compelling reasons (health, professional, family, return home).

Travelers must present a medical certificate with a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test result issued within 72 hours prior to departure. Children under age 11 are exempt from presenting a COVID-19 PCR-RT test result. Travelers must register on the Polynesian Electronic Travel Information System (ETIS) and provide the receipt at check-in. Minors traveling with their parents can be included on their ETIS form. Present the certificate of derogatory travel and the declaration on honour completed and signed. If traveling from France, travelers will also need to produce an international travel certificate to be completed in order to travel to French Polynesia. Airlines will refuse boarding to anyone who does not produce both proof of a negative result and the self-certified document.

Travelers are subject to a 14-day quarantine at a dedicated site in Tahiti, at their own expense. A COVID-19 test will be performed after 12 days of isolation before discharge on day 14 provided a negative result is received. It is possible to complete the 14-day quarantine at home but only where prior approval is sought and granted at least 72 hours before flight departure. Certain conditions must be met and permission can only be given by the High Commission of the Republic in French Polynesia.
