• Visa: Indian passport holders need a French Polynesia visa (Schengen visa is not valid). The application is submitted at the French Embassy/Consulate in India, often via VFS Global. Apply well in advance (at least 6–8 weeks).
• Transit Visa: If transiting through France or another Schengen country, a separate airport transit visa may be required.
• Passport: Should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates. Carry photocopies.
• Dry Season (May – October): Pleasant weather, less rain, perfect for beaches, snorkeling, diving.
• Wet Season (November – April): Hot and humid, frequent showers, but fewer tourists and slightly lower prices.
• Local currency: CFP Franc (XPF).
• Credit/debit cards widely accepted in resorts, but keep some cash for local markets and small shops.
• Currency exchange: Best done in Papeete airport, banks, or ATMs.
• 1 INR ≈ ~1.3–1.5 XPF (check updated rates before travel).
• Tahitian cuisine is a blend of French, Polynesian, and seafood specialties.
• As an Indian tourist, you may find vegetarian food limited. Options:
o Carry ready-to-eat Indian meals, masala sachets, or cup noodles.
o Resorts can usually customize vegetarian or Indian-style meals if requested in advance.
o Local fruits (papaya, pineapple, coconut, bananas) are delicious and safe.
• For non-vegetarians, fresh tuna, mahi-mahi, and lagoon fish are popular.

• A light jacket/raincoat for sudden showers.
• Flip-flops/sandals + water shoes (for corals).

• Time Zone: Tahiti is ~15.5 hours behind IST, so expect significant jet lag.
