New Caledonia Visa

Surrounded by the world"s largest lagoon, the "Land of Eternal Spring" is an ideal destination for ecotourism and adventure holidays. New Caledonia entry requirements are similar to that of France, since it is an overseas department of the latter. If you are a United States citizen, you do not need a visa for tourist travel of 90 days or fewer. It is necessary to present a valid passport with at least three months of validity from the last day of your visit, a return or onward ticket or travel documents, and means of support for the duration of the stay. If you are visiting New Caledonia for business reasons, you need to obtain a business visa that will allow you to stay for 90 days or fewer. Your visa application should be accompanied by an official business letter of invitation from a company in New Caledonia. If you wish to reside in New Caledonia, apply for a long-stay visa from the French consulate or embassy in the United States.

The appropriate short-stay visa is a requirement for American citizens who wish to visit New Caledonia as students, journalists in a mission, holders of diplomatic or official passports, and crew members of boats or planes; additionally, those who wish to undertake paid employment including artists and researchers must acquire short-stay visas. If you are a minor applying for a visa and traveling alone to New Caledonia, you need to present a notarized parental authorization signed by both parents or by your guardian.
