Hälsa, sjukdomar och vaccination

Travellers are advised to consult a travel health specialist or general practitioner (GP) at least four to eight weeks prior to departure.

It is essential to check that all vaccinations are up to date including tetanus-diphtheria and measles, mumps and rubella. Vaccinations against hepatitis A&B and typhoid are recommended.

Travellers entering Niue from a known Yellow Fever infected area will be required to provide a vaccination certificate.

Cyclone Heta destroyed Niue's cliff-top hospital in Alofi and a new hospital has since opened in the Kaimiti area near the airport. This is the only hospital in Niue. Medical facilities are limited and in the instance of a medical emergency, air evacuation may be required. It is advisable to take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance prior to travel.

If on medication you are advised to take sufficient supplies with you for the duration of your stay. In this instance it is also advisable to take a signed letter from a medical physician indicating all medical conditions and prescribed treatment, including generic medication names.

Pass

All travellers must have a passport valid for at least six months from the date of departure from Niue.

At present all non-Niueans are required to apply for a 30 day permit on arrival in Niue.

Some travellers may be required to provide proof of a return/onward journey, sufficient funds for the duration of their stay and evidence of pre-arranged accommodation upon arrival in Niue.

Visum

Visas are not required for most European, US, Canadian and Australian nationals for stays of a maximum of 30 days. Upon arrival travellers will be granted a 30 day Entry Permit. If travellers desire to stay longer than this allotted time period, contact must be made with the Immigration Office between one and two weeks before the expiry of the 30 days. The Immigration Office is located at PO Box 69, Alofi (tel: 4349 or 4333; fax: 4336). In no instance should travellers outstay the permitted time inside Niue without certification from the Niue immigration authorities as the legal repercussions can be severe.

In all instances it is advisable to contact your home diplomatic foreign service to learn of any specific entry requirements.
