This territory has entry rules that need their own verification. Check how the destination's rules apply to your passport, route and purpose instead of assuming that another country's visa covers entry.

Your next checks

  1. Write down the passport you will use and its type, your country of residence and your planned activities. Residence and interface language do not replace passport nationality.
  2. List arrival and departure dates, transit stops and entry points. Check each leg separately, including whether you pass immigration during transit.
  3. Open the official instructions for that profile. Record the required documents, submission window, fees and processing guidance; mark anything the source does not confirm as unresolved.
  4. If a condition is unclear, contact the competent authority with your passport country, residence, purpose and dates. Recheck before departure and after a passport or itinerary change.

Polynésie française : préparer le visa et l’arrivée maritime

La Polynésie française est hors de l’espace Schengen. Vérifiez les conditions territoriales du séjour ; une arrivée en bateau comporte aussi des formalités maritimes.

Passeport, nationalité, résidence, titres existants, durée et motif déterminent la dispense ou le visa requis.

  • Document de voyage et, si nécessaire, visa valable en Polynésie française.
  • Pour une arrivée maritime : renseignements sur le navire, les personnes embarquées et l’itinéraire selon la procédure DPAM.
  1. Choisir Polynésie française dans le parcours France-Visas.
  2. Préparer les pièces demandées et, en bateau, suivre la procédure officielle d’arrivée maritime.
  • Un visa Schengen ne couvre pas automatiquement ce territoire ; vérifier les exemptions liées au profil.
  • La déclaration du navire ne remplace pas le droit d’entrée de ses passagers.
