South Pacific Visas

[magpies66]

We are going to New Caledonia and Vanuatu on our first ever cruise next March. Can anyone please tell me if visas are required for either of these destinations? Our ports will be Isle of Pines, Mystery Island, Lifou and Noumea.

We went in February this year and didn't need visas, but I suggest checking with the cruise line.

I have been cruising to the South Pacific since 1986 and have never needed a visa to enter any of the places you listed (and more).

 

Go Pies :D

Same - since 84. Never needed visa for anywhere in the entire South Pacific.

None needed.

Thank you all. I can relax now and plan other, more exciting parts of my trip [emoji2]

Glad it is all sorted. Remember in future if you are unsure to check the smartraveller website.

That's the key. Citizens of some countries do require visas.

You do not need visas but always carry your passport

Which countries? I have cruised the Pacific a number of times with Chinese friends and have spoken to nationals from India, Philippines, Indonesia, Germany, Sth Africa, USA, England from memory and none of them needed a visa.

 

The only visa checks done are the ones at embarkation in Australia to ensure they have a valid visa to return to Australia.

I think I have read somewhere that we should only take copies of passports off the ship and leave the actual passports in our room safe. Is this not correct?
