Is there a way around a bond in French Polynesia? Is it possible to avoid putting up a bond for each crew?

• By having an air ticket to the next island to which we are sailing?

Not accepted I believe.

• Air ticket home?

Yes, if you have an open ticket it should be accepted.

• Letter from me (ship's owner)

No, unless you post the bond for each of your crew! Except for EEC citizens, everyone is submitted to the bond. Country of registry has no bearing.
