Visa policy of the Falkland Islands

 Falkland Islands – The territory maintains its own entry requirements different from the visa policy of the United Kingdom. The Customs and Immigration Department of the Falkland Islands controls entry into the territory.

Visa exemption

Thumb
A visitor's permit valid for seven days for shore excursions only, issued to any visitor regardless of nationality.

Cruise ship visitors regardless of nationality do not need a visa to enter the Falkland Islands or to participate in shore excursions for up to seven days. However, visitors arriving by air or intending to spend time in the Falkland Islands before or after a cruise need a visa if not otherwise exempt.

Land-base visitors are required to have evidence of accommodation and funds for the duration of their stay, a return ticket, and travel insurance including medical evacuation should it be required.[31]

Thumb

Nationals of the following countries and territories holding a valid passport can enter the Falkland Islands without a visa for a period of one month and are issued a visitor's permit on arrival:[32]

In addition, holders of international travel documents issued by the International Committee of the Red Cross and holders of a United Nations laissez-passer issued by the United Nations do not need a visa. All visa-exempt visitors may extend their visit up to a maximum of 12 months by applying directly to Customs and Immigration in Stanley.

Visa types

  • Visitor permit: Nationals of countries not listed as visa-exempt need to obtain a visitor permit prior to arrival in the Falklands.
  • Work permit: A work permit must be applied from outside of the Falkland Islands initially. It grants permission for the holder to enter, depart and reside in the Falklands during the period of its validity, and to take employment with a specified employer or on one's own account engage in any trade, business or vocation stated in the permit. Maximum validity is 2 years but it can be renewed on application.
  • Temporary residence permit: A residence permit, which needs to be applied from outside of the Falkland Islands, grants permission for the holder to enter, depart and reside in the Falklands during the period of its validity up to a maximum of 3 years, but it can be renewed on application. The holder of a residence permit and any dependents included in the permit are entitled to apply for work permits if they wish to subsequently take up an employment opportunity.
  • Permanent residence permit: A permanent residence permit grants indefinite leave for the holder to enter, depart and reside in the Falkland Islands and to take any lawful employment or pursue any lawful business, trade, profession, or vocation in the Falkland Islands without needing a work permit. Where an application for a permanent residence permit is approved, any dependents included in the application of a principal applicant are also granted a permanent residence permit in their own right. The annual number of permanent residence permits that may be granted is controlled by a quota system.

Transit

All travellers who would normally require a visa to enter the Falkland Islands but are transiting by air or sea for less than 24 hours are exempted from the visa requirement.

Notes

  1. As of 2024, the Anguilla e-visa website lists Macao and Taiwan as visa-required nationalities,[3] but the list of visa requirements published by the government of Anguilla and Timatic mention holders of Macao passports and of Taiwan passports with an identification card number as visa-exempt.[4][5]
  2. Holding a passport that includes the number of the identification card.
  3. A government press release in 2018 announced a visa exemption for nationals of China.[23] However, the list of nationalities that need a visa for the British Virgin Islands published by its government in 2020 listed China "except Hong Kong SAR".[24] As of 2024, Timatic listed a visa requirement for nationals of China except holders of Hong Kong and Macao passports.[5] A visa requirement for nationals of Kosovo and South Sudan was also listed by Timatic but not by the government of the British Virgin Islands.[5][24]
  4. The regulations of 2019 specified a visa waiver for nationals of all countries in the Commonwealth of Nations except for Bangladesh, Cameroon, Gambia, Ghana, India, Jamaica (between 15 and 70 years of age), Nigeria, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka and Uganda.[26] Rwanda joined the Commonwealth of Nations in 2009, and Gabon and Togo joined in 2022, but as of 2024 Timatic still listed a visa requirement for nationals of these countries.[5]
  5. The immigration law of Gibraltar specifies that the visa requirements for Gibraltar are the same as those for the United Kingdom, with additional exemptions.[33] The United Kingdom exempted nationals of Guyana, Peru and GCC countries from its visa requirements, but as of January 2025 the Borders and Coastguard Agency of Gibraltar and Timatic still listed a visa requirement for nationals of these countries to enter Gibraltar.[34][5]
  6. Holders of a valid visa or residence permit for the United Kingdom, United States or Canada do not need a visa.
  7. Holders of a visa for the United Kingdom, United States or Canada do not need a visa. The visa for those countries must have at least 6 months of validity before travel.
  8. Holders of a valid visa for the United Kingdom, United States, Canada or an EU country do not need a visa.
  9. Does not include Ascension Island and Tristan da Cunha, which require a visa or prior permission for all visitors.
  10. Cruise ship visitors do not need a visa to enter the Falkland Islands or to participate in shore excursions for up to seven days during the cruise.
  11. Sources disagree regarding this visa exemption.
