What it means in practice

30 days is about a month. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 30 November 2026, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.

For a longer base you need an extension, if one exists, or a different visa from the start. Repeated back-to-back entries are at the officer's discretion.

How Tuvalu counts your stay: Up to one month from arrival.

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months on arrival
  • Return or onward ticket and proof of sufficient funds may be requested
  • Declare goods that may be prohibited or dutiable

How to avoid overstaying

  • Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
  • Plan to leave a day or two early. With 30 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
  • Extend before you run out. Apply to the Department of Immigration in Funafuti before your permitted stay ends.
  • Penalties. Our data does not list the overstay penalty for Tuvalu. Ask the immigration authority before you risk it: fines, deportation and entry bans are common elsewhere.
