Travel Summary

French Polynesia is a French Overseas Territory. There is currently no British diplomatic or consular representation. In the event of an emergency, please contact the British Embassy in Paris for assistance.

There is a low threat from terrorism. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be in public places, including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.

Although the risk from crime is also low, it does exist and you should take normal common-sense precautions. See Safety and Security - Crime.

Many hundreds of British tourists visit French Polynesia each year. Most visits are trouble-free. We are not aware of any British nationals who required consular assistance in French Polynesia in 2009.

Tropical storms including cyclones can occur between the months of November and April. See Natural Disasters.
