ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
A bona-fide visitor (any person who enters
the Cook Islands solely for recreation or vacation/holiday), does
not require an entry permit, provided he/she possesses proof of
onward passage (booked and paid) for stays of not more than 31 days.
Extension permits are usually granted for visitors wanting to stay
over 31 days. All visitors are required to have a valid passport,
proof of onward passage, adequate financial means of supporting
stay, and suitable accommodation. Applications can be made upon
arrival at the Immigration Department. Extensions are granted on a
monthly basis, up to 5 additional months only. A fee is payable with
each application within 14 days prior to the expiration of the
permit. Extensions are granted at two levels. Up to three months
NZ$70.00 (15 years and older), up to five months NZ$120.00 (15 years
and older). Children under 15 years of age are exempt from charges
but must report to Immigration for official paperwork to be
completed.
