Cash only for visa fee
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in Australian dollars cash. There are no ATMs at Funafuti Airport and cards are not accepted. Bring enough AUD to cover the fee (around 100) plus any extra for taxis or incidentals.

Internet and mobile coverage in Tuvalu is limited and expensive. Download offline maps and essential documents before you arrive. An eSIM from Airalo can get you online quickly, but speeds are slow.
