Visa on arrival

  • Present your passport, return ticket, and proof of accommodation to immigration officers at Funafuti International Airport

  • Immigration officers assess purpose of visit and stamp the passport with the visitor permit, typically valid for 30 days
  • No separate visa fee is charged for standard tourist entry; processing at the airport takes only a few minutes
  • Have a hotel reservation ready, as officers may request it before stamping the passport

Tips for Algeria travelers

  • Confirm your onward flight through Fiji well in advance, as Tuvalu has very limited weekly flight connections
  • Carry printed proof of accommodation and a return ticket, since officers may deny entry without them
  • Extend your stay early at the Immigration Office in Funafuti if you plan to stay beyond 30 days
  • There is no Algerian or Tuvaluan embassy in either country, so travel documentation should be finalized before departure
