Man, getting a visa for Tokelau was a bit of a journey, let me tell you. First off, I started digging around online to figure out what I needed. Turns out, not every country needs a visa to visit Tokelau, but it depends on your nationality and if you need a visa to enter New Zealand. Since I do need one for New Zealand, I figured I better get one for Tokelau too, just to be safe.
Finding the Right Info
So, my first step was to find the official requirements. I stumbled upon a few different websites, but it was a bit confusing. Some sites talked about getting the visa through an agency, and others had conflicting information. I even saw some stuff about the visa being a stamp in your passport that you get from an embassy in Washington DC.
Figuring Out the Application Process
- I learned that the application process might involve filling out a form, paying a fee online, and then waiting for an email with the e-Visa authorization. This seemed straightforward enough.
- But then I read that the process might be different depending on where you’re from. Great, more confusion. I decided to look for a service that could help me through the process, just to make sure I didn’t miss anything.
Reaching Out for Help
I ended up looking up for a service online. I filled out their online form, which asked for all the usual stuff – passport details, travel dates, etc. After filling it out, I paid the service fee online, hoping this would make the visa process smoother.

Waiting Game and Success
After that, it was just a waiting game. I kept checking my email, and finally, a few days later, I got an email with my visa authorization! It was such a relief to have it sorted. I printed out the authorization, just in case I needed a physical copy.
So yeah, that’s how I got my Tokelau visa. It wasn’t the most straightforward process, but I managed to figure it out in the end. If you’re planning a trip there, just make sure you do your research and double-check the requirements for your specific situation. Good luck!
