Tonga has lifted the requirement to have COVID-19 vaccination proof for all foreign travelers arriving in the country.
The Prime Minister’s Office on 31 March stated that Cabinet has approved the Open Border Policy Framework.
The requirement for proof of COVID-19 vaccination for all foreign travelers arriving in Tonga has been removed.
COVID-19 cases in Tonga and around Pacific Island countries have dropped in the last six months, prompting the Ministry of Health’s proposal to remove the requirement for proof of vaccination.
In September 2022, Tonga lifted most of its health requirements, resulting in full border re-opening for both air and sea arrivals. The only requirement left was the vaccination proof for foreigners, now lifted.
