As of December 2017 no permits were being issued for yachts to the outer atolls, including Nukufetau & Namumea. New procedures are in effect now requiring Immigration AND Customs to each sign off on a permit, AFTER they obtain approval from local atoll chiefs. The head of Immigration confirmed this was the new policy, and not likely to change soon.
