Arrival/Departure procedures
All visiting yachts MUST make their way to Papeete (Tahiti) to complete the full entry proceedures and documentation. If arriving first at any of the other islands first, skippers MUST report to the local police. At the first stop, the police will issue an "arrival" document, one copy is mailed to Tahiti and another kept by the skipper. This document MUST be presented to the local police at each island stop-over enroute to Tahiti.
It is important to note that should the vessel (having first made landfall at an outer island) not proceed to Tahiti for formal clearance, you will not receive final clearance when leaving French Polynesia. Final clearance can be received from an outer island ONLY if a visit has been made to Papeete at some stage for full documentation.
