Pitcairn Islands Visas and Documentation

Visas and Documentation

The remoteness and ruggedness of Pitcairn's geography, the insularity of its bureaucracy, and the scarcity of its resources conspire to make it a very difficult place to visit. Visitors staying on the island for any length of time require a license from the governor, because the irregularity of transport means they're effectively residents of the island for the next several weeks or even months. These licenses require proof of good health, the means to leave at the end of the visit (e.g. passage on an upcoming ship), at least $300/week to cover your cost of living on Pitcairn, various other conditions, and a $100 fee; they are valid for six months.
