As part of the general measures to reduce semi-confinement in France, the French Polynesia<\/strong><\/a> is returning to a little more normality. Until 30 April, only travellers from mainland France can enter Polynesia with a overriding reason<\/strong>. This includes travel for health, work, family and home.<\/p>\n

La Polynesia<\/strong> has succeeded in controlling the pandemic<\/strong>. Between January 1 and April 25, the number of positive cases recorded rose slightly. On 26 April, it stood at 18,700 cases, two thousand more than on 1 January. There have been no new deaths since 8 March.<\/p>\n

Compulsory entry form<\/span><\/h3>\n

The High Commission in French Polynesia has put in place very strict health controls. All travellers to and from French Polynesia must apply to enter the country. at a minimum<\/strong>\u00a06 days before departure<\/b>. Three days before boarding, travellers undergo an RT-PCR screening test and must register on Polynesia's Electronic Travel Information System (ETIS). They must also complete a quarantine application at a dedicated centre or at home.<\/p>\n

The passenger must produce the results of these procedures when boarding. On arrival at the airport, the passenger will be seated in strict isolation for 10 days<\/strong>. They must then undergo two additional PCR tests on days 4 and 8.<\/p>\n

From 1 May, some of these restrictions will no longer apply<\/strong> for travellers who have been vaccinated or immunised (with proof of a serological test proving the presence of antibodies). They must undergo an antigen test on arrival in Tahiti and undergo a virological test on day 4. Registration on the ETIS platform remains compulsory<\/strong>. However, this can be done up to 30 days before departure. In return, the High Commission issues a boarding permit.<\/p>\n

For the time being, only French, European Union and US nationals benefit from this relief<\/strong>. The other nationalities<\/strong> remain subject to the old restrictions. These new conditions and formalities apply only to Americans (tourism) and Americans (travel). travellers from mainland France and other countries arriving for compelling reasons<\/strong> (health, family, work). However, other opening measures could be adopted if the pandemic situation stabilises.<\/p>\n
