Rules in force · 2
- Wallis and Futuna ↗Entry rules are set by France but separately from Schengen: EU citizens enter freely, other passports should check the French government's rules for Wallis and Futuna, and an onward ticket is required.
- Wallis and Futuna ↗Land belongs to families and customary chiefs: ask before visiting sites, beaches or islets, and respect the kings and their villages.
Wallis is a small, flat island ringed by a lagoon, with one main road and villages on the coast. There is no public transport plan to rely on, so a hired car or a guesthouse driver is the transport. Keep one bed in Mata-Utu, go out in the mornings, and rest in the heat.
