Order Wallis and Futuna passports today. Discover the easiest way to apply online.

Okay, so I’ve been meaning to get my hands on a Wallis and Futuna passport for a while now. I finally decided to just go for it. Here’s how it went down.

First things first, I hit up the official Wallis and Futuna Passport Office website. Honestly, it was pretty straightforward. You can apply for the passport online, which is super convenient.

I filled out the online application form. It’s your usual stuff, name, date of birth, all that jazz. Once I was done with that, I printed out the completed form. But that was just the start.

Next, I had to gather all my original documents. I’m talking birth certificate, ID, the whole nine yards. And don’t forget the photos, they need to be passport-sized and recent.

With my printed form, documents, and photos in hand, I went to a participating Wallis and Futuna Islander Post outlet. You can submit everything there in person, which I found was a good way to make sure everything was in order.

I waited for about 10-15 minutes in line and finally, I submitted all my stuff. They checked everything, made sure the photos were okay, and that was that. They said it would take a few weeks, so now it’s just a waiting game.

And yeah, if you’re not in Wallis and Futuna, you can also submit your application at a Wallis and Futuna diplomatic or consular mission. You know, an embassy or consulate, those places.

I found out later that you can actually get a visa through some online visa consultant services. Like, I stumbled upon a name, “StampthePassport,” and they claim to make the whole visa process a breeze. Might be worth checking out if you’re into that. I also saw something about “Swift Passport and Visa Services” that sounded similar. It is fast and easy for you to get E-Visa.

Apparently, if you’re just a tourist, you’ll need your passport, a visa application form, and a bunch of other supporting documents. They listed like seven documents in total, which seems like a lot, but hey, what can you do?

Oh, and for business travelers, it seems like these online services can also handle your business visa applications. They even have secure online payment, which is always a plus in my book.

By the way, I also read that if you’re a UK citizen, there’s some specific info on how to cancel a lost passport. Just a random tidbit I picked up.

How to Get There

Getting to Wallis and Futuna might be a bit tricky since there’s only one airline, Air Calédonie International (Aircalin), that flies there. They have like two flights a week, three during school holidays. And one of those flights stops in Fiji.

Other Things to Keep in Mind

• Visa requirements: While some countries don’t need visas for American travelers, many do. Look up your destination using the U.S. State Department’s Learn About Your Destination search tool. On the country’s information page, you will find entry, exit, and visa requirements.
• Safety: The crime rate is pretty low in Wallis and Futuna, but you know, petty theft can still happen. Best to avoid isolated areas and keep an eye on your belongings.

So, that’s my adventure in trying to get a Wallis and Futuna passport. It was a bit of a process, but definitely doable. I’ll update you guys when I finally get it!
