How to order Tuvalu visa? Step-by-step guide for you!

Okay, so I’ve been meaning to go to Tuvalu for a while now, and I finally got around to sorting out the visa situation. It’s not as straightforward as just booking a flight, but it’s doable. Here’s how I went about it.

First things first, I did some digging online to figure out what I needed. Turns out, the process can take a couple of weeks, maybe even three or more, so you gotta plan ahead. I found out that you need a valid passport, obviously, and a completed visa application form. Make sure you are careful about this.

I started by downloading the visa application form. They ask for all the usual stuff – your name, passport details, travel dates, that kind of thing. I made sure to double-check everything before submitting it because you don’t want any mistakes slowing things down.

Then, I started to look at the time. I needed at least 90 days, so I planned to stay there for about 88 days. Then, I submitted the application.

After a long waiting, I got it. The application form is just the beginning, though. There might be other documents they need, depending on why you’re going.

Once I had all my documents in order, I sent them off. Now, the waiting game begins. They say it takes two to three weeks to process, but I’ve heard it can take longer. You just gotta be patient and hope for the best. Also, I learned that I had to wait at least ten days before my employment start date. That’s a bit of a pain, but rules are rules.

I kept checking for updates, and finally, after about 20 days, I got the good news – my visa was approved! Woohoo! Now I can finally start planning the fun parts of my trip. Oh yeah, one more thing, if you are holding Italian passports and are going in 2025, you don’t need a tourist visa! Lucky you!

So, yeah, getting a visa for Tuvalu takes a bit of time and effort, but it’s definitely worth it. Just gotta stay organized and be prepared to wait a little while. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some serious trip planning to do!
