Rules in force · 6
  • New Caledonia ↗Entry rules are set by France but separately from Schengen: EU citizens enter freely, and other passports should check the French government's rules for New Caledonia before booking.
  • New Caledonia ↗Civil unrest in 2024 caused curfews, road blocks and airport closures; check your own government's current advice and local announcements before and during the trip.
  • New Caledonia ↗Much land outside Nouméa is customary Kanak land: ask permission and follow local custom (the 'coutume', a small gift) before visiting tribes or beaches on it.
  • Nouméa area ↗Unrest in 2024 disrupted flights and roads: check your own government's current advice and airline notices before you travel.
  • Nouméa ↗La Tontouta is 50 km from the city and the shuttle follows the flights: book a transfer or taxi before you fly, and message the hotel with your flight number.
  • Nouméa ↗Unrest in 2024 closed the airport to commercial flights for weeks and brought curfews and road blocks: check your own government's current advice and airline notices before you travel.
