Tuamoto group are part of French Polynesia and as I explained in earlier post you pay a bond for FP. Visa for USA I also explained can be very expensive to obtain but I also understand the need for a Visa. A point I overlooked to explain is for a an Australian for example to enter the USA I do not need a Visa to enter if I was holidaying and carry a return ticket to be used within 90days. But if I have a one way ticket say with the intention of finding a Yacht to cruise home then a Visa is required. Most cruising yachties are on a limited budget and their boats are at least 25+ years old.
