Wallis and Futuna - Clearance
COVID-19 coronavirus: New procedures are in place for arriving yachts – see Biosecurity for details.
ARRIVAL FORMALITIES
On landing in Wallis and Futuna, you must first go to Customs, then on to the gendarmerie to complete all entry formalities.
There are customs posts on Mata’Utu quayside in Wallis and Leava quayside in Futuna. Although a little further away, the gendarmerie offices are still an easy walk from the quayside.
The Gendarmes handle immigration. They generally want to see each crew member with their passport.
Formalities are straightforward and there are no fees. See each island’s clearance section for further details.
CLEARING OUT
Both sets of officials must be visited before departure, including if going on to another island in the group. On arrival at the next island, clearance procedures must be conducted again.
