French Polynesia ETIS (COVID-19) Before embarking on your trip to French Polynesia, the first thing you have to do is to obtain the French Polynesia ETIS, a mandatory document to enter this country. Keep that in mind to avoid inconveniences on your journey. Exploring French Polynesia means exploring a great number of natural beauties. This territory is a French overseas community with more than 100 islands in the South Pacific and it’s 2,000 km long. It’s divided into the Society Islands archipelago, formed by the Windward Islands and the Leeward Islands; the Tuamotu Archipelago; the Gambier Islands; the Marquesas Islands; and the Austral Islands. These islands are very popular because they have beautiful coral-lined lagoons and bungalow hotels on the sea.
