Working in French Polynesia

As part of the protection of local jobs, any foreigner who wishes to enter and stay in French Polynesia to work in an employed capacity may be subject to work authorisation and, in some cases, to a work visa.

The department responsible for delivering such authorisations in French Polynesia is “Service de l'Emploi, de la Formation et de l'Insertion professionnelle” (SEFI) – Department for Employment, Training and Employability. If you plan to come and work in French Polynesia, please contact them before your arrival on the territory.
