Rules in force · 6Coral roads and heat
  • Tuvalu ↗Visitors usually receive an entry permit on arrival with an onward ticket and proof of funds, but check Tuvalu immigration or a Tuvalu mission for your passport before booking.
  • Tuvalu ↗The Funafuti Conservation Area is protected: no fishing or taking shells, and visits should be arranged with the conservation office or a licensed boat.
  • Funafuti area ↗King tides (Feb–Mar) flood low ground and can cut roads near the airstrip: ask your guesthouse.
  • Funafuti ↗Coral roads and heat: bags go from the pickup to the door, never on a walk.
  • Funafuti ↗The runway is public space when no plane is due: keep off it when a flight is expected, and listen for the siren.
  • Funafuti ↗King tides (Feb–Mar) flood low ground, including near the airstrip: ask your guesthouse about the tide tables.
