Okay, so I’ve been wanting a Niue ID card for a while now. It’s not about chilling on some beach, but more for the adventure, you know? I heard that this place is not that simple to get into, so I started digging around to see what’s up.
First thing I did was check if I even needed a visa. Turns out, if you’re from Ireland like me, you don’t need one if you’re staying for less than 31 days. Sweet! But if you’re planning to hang out longer, then you gotta sort out a visa. And of course, you need a valid passport. That’s a no-brainer.
Then I got curious about other nationalities. I found out that folks from around 81 countries can just waltz into Niue without a visa, but those from 158 countries need to get one beforehand. Most people can stay for up to 30 days visa-free. Some can get a visa on arrival.

The process of obtaining an ID card
- Checked visa requirements: Realized Irish citizens could stay for 31 days without a visa, but others might need one depending on where they’re from.
- Looked into longer stays: Found out that if you wanna stay more than a month, you need a visa. Makes sense.
- Explored work options: Heard there’s something called a “Niue Work VISA,” so I’m guessing you can work there if you get the right paperwork.
- Gathered passport info: Confirmed that everyone, no matter where you’re from, needs a passport to get into Niue.
So, after all this digging, I’m one step closer to getting that Niue ID card. I applied for it. It’s not just about the card itself, but the whole journey of figuring out how to get it. It’s like a little adventure before the actual adventure in Niue begins!
Anyway, I just wanted to share my little progress report. Maybe it’ll help someone else who’s thinking about doing the same. It’s not as straightforward as I thought, but hey, that’s part of the fun, right?
