Excluding the directly waived EU and New Zealand cohorts, it is normalized as visa on arrival rather than visa-free.","status":"visa_on_arrival","conditions":["This is an express destination-wide statutory visitor-permit route, not a complement inferred from a nationality list or an application form. Every overseas air or sea arrival must appear before an immigration officer; the Regulations' Conditions of Entry say that, absent an exempt category or already-obtained enter-and-reside permit, a visitor requires a Visitor's Permit and the officer permits entry for up to 30 days.","The immigration officer has discretion and must be satisfied about an onward ticket or other means of travel to a country the visitor can enter, and the visitor cannot exceed three months in the preceding 12 months. The permit is not automatic admission.","The visitor permit normally allows at most 30 days; ordinary visitors may not work, conduct business, study or proselytise. A separate special endorsement or permit-to-enter-and-reside process applies to employment, business, study, residence and other non-tourist purposes.","The Schedule 1 fee list distinguishes fee treatment only. It does not create an additional visa-free nationality cohort; likewise, arrival and departure cards are separate border declarations, not an ETA or visa route.","This policy does not decide section 7 individual exemptions (armed forces, diplomats, government employees, related families, specified Ministerial groups or seamen), citizenship, diplomatic, official, service, special passports, transit, crew, residency or third-country-document conditions."],"sourceIds":["tuvalu-immigration-act-2022-revised","tuvalu-immigration-regulations-2022-revised"]}],"conditional":[],"sources":[{"id":"tuvalu-immigration-act-2022-revised","title":"Immigration Act, 2022 Revised Edition (Cap. 24.15)","url":"https://tuvalu-legislation.tv/cms/images/LEGISLATION/PRINCIPAL/1968/1968-0010/1968-0010_2.pdf","publisher":"Tuvalu Legislation","jurisdiction":"Tuvalu","kind":"law","language":"English","reviewedAt":"2026-08-21"},{"id":"tuvalu-immigration-regulations-2022-revised","title":"Immigration Regulations, 2022 Revised Edition (Cap. 24.15.1)","url":"https://tuvalu-legislation.tv/cms/images/LEGISLATION/SUBORDINATE/2014/2014-0003/2014-0003_2.pdf","publisher":"Tuvalu Legislation","jurisdiction":"Tuvalu","kind":"law","language":"English","reviewedAt":"2026-08-21"}]}
