PCR or antigenic, the test to be presented when boarding a flight to Polynesia will be less than 24 hours from December 28.

By a decree dated December 24, 2021, all passengers traveling to French Polynesia will be required to present a negative test, PCR or antigen, of less than 24 hours upon boarding.
This obligation comes into force on Tuesday December 28 at midnight. It applies for travel from France as from all foreign countries.
This measure is necessary in order to protect French Polynesia from the new epidemic wave due to the Omicron variant and to limit the circulation of the virus in the context of a strong resumption of contaminations in France and abroad.
France crossed the threshold of 94,000 new cases of covid-19 on Friday evening, Christmas Eve, a threshold never reached since the start of the epidemic in March 2020, according to figures published by Public Health France.
94,124 new cases were recorded in 24 hours, under the effect of the fifth wave which intensifies carried by the variant Omicron, much more contagious.
