Rules in force · 6
- Niue ↗Entry rules are Niue's own: many visitors get a permit on arrival with an onward ticket and booked accommodation, but check Niue immigration for your passport. Travelling through Auckland may require an NZeTA or transit visa; check New Zealand's rules too.
- Niue ↗Declare food, plant and animal products on arrival; Niue protects its crops from pests.
- Niue ↗Sea tracks cross village and family land: follow local signs, some charge an access fee, and some are closed on Sundays.
- Alofi and the west coast ↗Sunday is a rest day: shops, cafés and dive operators close, so plan food and the flight around it.

- Alofi ↗There is no public transport, ride-hailing or metered taxi: your host or a hire firm arranges the airport pickup and a hire car for the island; ask how to get the local driving permit when you book.
