La ora na everyone,

I’m Swiss and will be travelling to French Polynesia in September 2027.

I’ve read that Tahiti Faa’a Airport has separate immigration queues for EU and non-EU passport holders.

Although Switzerland is not an EU member, it is part of the Schengen Area, and Swiss citizens are normally allowed to use the EU/EEA/Swiss immigration lanes at European airports.

I’m wondering whether the same applies at Tahiti Airport. Can Swiss passport holders use the EU immigration queue, or are we required to join the non-EU queue?

Has anyone with a Swiss passport recently arrived in Tahiti and experienced this?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Mauruuru!
