French Polynesia
Travel Guide
ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS: French Polynesia, Tahiti,
is a French overseas territory located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
It is made up of several groups of islands, the largest and most populated
of which is Tahiti. Tourist facilities are well developed and are available
on the major islands.
A passport valid for six months beyond duration of stay is required.
Visas are not required for stays of up to one month. Extensions for up to
three months may be granted locally by applying to the Haut Commissionaire
(The French High Commissioner). For further information about entry
requirements, travelers, particularly those planning to enter by sea, may
contact the French Embassy at 4101 Reservoir Road, N.W., Washington, D.C.
20007, telephone 202-944-6200, fax 202-944-6212, or visit the Embassy of
France's web site at
http://www.info-france-usa.org. Additional information is available at

Medical & Life Insurance
MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Medical
treatment is generally good on the major islands, but is limited in more
remote or less populated areas. Patients with emergencies or serious
illnesses are often referred to facilities on Tahiti for treatment. In
Papeete, the capital of Tahiti, two major hospitals and several private
clinics provide 24‑hour medical service. Serious medical problems requiring
hospitalization and/or medical evacuation to the United States can cost
thousands of dollars. Although some doctors and hospitals are beginning to
accept credit card and U.S. insurance payments, others still expect
immediate cash payment for health services.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe
food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s hotline for international
travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747)

MEDICAL INSURANCE: The Department of State strongly
urges Americans to consult with their medical insurance company prior to
traveling abroad to confirm whether their policy applies overseas and
whether it will cover emergency expenses such as a medical evacuation.

or traveling outside of the U.S. are encouraged to register with the U.S.
Embassy through the State Department’s travel registration website,
https://travelregistration.state.gov. Americans without Internet access
may register directly with the U.S. Embassy. By registering, American
citizens make it easier for the Embassy to contact them in case of
emergency.
