French Polynesia


This advice has been reviewed and reissued with amendments to the Summary (most common cause of consular assistance in 2007. The overall level of the advice has not changed.
French Polynesia is a French Overseas Territory. There is currently no British diplomatic or consular representation. In the event of an emergency, please contact the British Embassy in Paris for assistance. See the General section of this advice for more details.


There is a low threat from terrorism. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be in public places, including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.


Although the risk from crime is also low, it does exist and you should take normal common-sense precautions. See the Crime section of the advice for more details.


Many hundreds of British tourists visit French Polynesia each year. Most visits are trouble-free. We are not aware of any British nationals who required consular assistance in French Polynesia in 2007.


Tropical storms including cyclones can occur between the months of November and April. See the Natural Disasters section of this advice and Hurricanes for more details.


We strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling to French Polynesia. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for all the activities you want to undertake. See the General (Insurance) section of this advice and the Travel Insurance for more details.
