Preparing your trip to Reunion Island
Our tips for Reunion Island
European nationals
1. Passport and Visa:
Reunion being a French overseas department, European nationals, including those from member countries of the European Union and the Schengen Area, do not need a visa to enter the island. A valid national identity card or passport is sufficient for short stays. Tourist and business stays can be made without additional formalities.
2. Customs formalities:
Travelers from the EU have no particular restrictions on personal goods, but specific rules apply to products such as alcohol, tobacco and currency. Customs limits on these products must be respected to avoid any complications.
3. Health Insurance:
Although access to health services is available to European nationals thanks to the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), it is advisable to take out additional insurance to cover any health expenses not covered.
4. Safety and Travel Advice:
European nationals should consult their government's travel advice before travelling to La Réunion. As a general rule, the island is considered a safe destination, but it's always prudent to stay informed about local conditions, particularly with regard to natural hazards such as cyclones.
International nationals
1. Passport and Visa:
International nationals, including those from Africa, Asia, the Americas and other regions, should check visa requirements before travelling to La Réunion. Depending on their nationality, they may be subject to visa requirements to enter France, and by extension, La Réunion. The passport must be valid for at least six months after the planned date of departure.
2. Visa Application Procedures:
Visa applications can be submitted to French embassies or consulates in the country of origin. Required documents generally include a valid passport, proof of sufficient funds, a letter of motivation for the trip, and proof of round-trip flight reservations. Nationals of certain countries may benefit from a Schengen visa, which also allows them to travel to La Réunion.
3. Customs formalities and regulations:
All international travelers must comply with French customs regulations. Products such as food, plants, animals, and currency may be subject to restrictions. It is crucial to declare any amount over 10,000 euros or the equivalent in other currencies to avoid penalties.
4. Health and Safety Insurance:
It is strongly recommended that international travelers have comprehensive health insurance covering medical expenses and emergency evacuation. The healthcare system in La Réunion is of high quality, but costs can be high for those not covered by appropriate insurance.
