Rules in force · 5Coral roads, heat and no shade
- Kiribati ↗Entry rules vary by passport and some nationalities need a visa in advance: check Kiribati immigration or a Kiribati mission before booking, and carry an onward ticket.
- Kiribati ↗Declare food, plants and animal products on arrival; atolls are protected against pests.
- Gilbert Islands (Tarawa) ↗Flights to and from Tarawa are few and can be cancelled: keep at least one spare day before any onward international connection.
- South Tarawa ↗Coral roads, heat and no shade: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- South Tarawa ↗After dark, ride door to door; stretches of the main road are unlit and there is no reliable late transport.
