Discover how the citizens of the United Kingdom can enter French Polynesia

British tourists who have been waiting patiently for the world’s borders to open again so they can get back to bronzing themselves on the beach or exploring uncharted underwater territories, will be relieved to see that the majority of countries have started opening up again. This is also true of the overseas French territory of French Polynesia.

This island nation said au revoir to international guests at the height of the pandemic, but has since started welcoming them back with open arms. The economy of this paradise destination is somewhat reliant on the thousands of visitors which flock to the dreamy beaches every year, so you can imagine how keen the islanders were to get them back.

Of course, the health risk that shut down French Polynesia earlier this year hasn’t exactly disappeared, which means that now more than ever it is vital for visitors to follow local procedures regarding hygiene and sanitation. If you’re sick of wearing a mask, at least you can start looking forward to the freedom of the open sea, where you can toss your mask aside for a while and relax in the balmy temperatures of the South Pacific Ocean.
