It is NO LONGER compulsory for all yachts visiting French Polynesia to visit Papeete Customs and Immigration to complete the clearing-in process.

Yachts can now clear in or out of FP with the “gendarmes” offices (French Police) at the ports of entry in the other islands (Marquesas, Tuamotus, Gambiers, Australs etc.) and complete all customs and immigration formalities in the one place.

For full details on clearance into and out of FP go to French Polynesia Formalities.

For details on the location, hours and relevant information relating to the various “gendarmes” offices, see each individual clearance port (marked with an *asterisk).

Note: There is no ATM or bank in the Gambiers, but the post office will change US$.
