Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Luxembourg passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Tonga. Immigration officers in Tonga do not enforce a strict 6-month validity rule, but your airline might ask for it at check-in — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Tonga | Immigration at Fuaʻamotu International Airport will ask to see a confirmed onward or return ticket before they let you through. Budget airlines flying into Tonga also check this at departure — have a printed copy or a screenshot ready on your phone. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration officers occasionally ask for a hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Tonga. Have a printed booking confirmation or a digital copy on your phone — it saves time at the counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Officers may ask how you plan to support yourself during your visit. Carry a bank statement or a credit card with a reasonable limit — around 200 TOP per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
