Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire period you plan to stay in Tuvalu. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Tuvalu immigration, but airlines may ask for 6 months validity — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration at Funafuti International Airport will ask to see a confirmed onward or return ticket before granting entry. Have a printed copy or a clear digital version on your phone ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to have on hand | While not always checked, having a hotel booking or a letter of invitation from a host in Tuvalu speeds up the immigration process. Print the confirmation or save it offline on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry evidence | Carry proof of sufficient funds for your stay — a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least 500 AUD per week is a safe benchmark. Immigration rarely asks, but it helps if questioned. | Recommended |
