Official wording

Aevamo’s reading

The Pitcairn Islands Immigration Policy is the certified immigration policy made under s 2A of the Immigration Control Ordinance 2006 (inserted by the Immigration Control Amendment Ordinance 2026, in force 28 April 2026). It is subordinate legislation that imposes the visa classes, eligibility criteria and durations for entry to Pitcairn — it does not merely describe rules created elsewhere — and it is the document the answer rows quote from.

Section 9.1 defines the short-term visitor visa as a stay of 14 days or less with departure on the same vessel, 9.2 says an immigration officer decides the visa at the border (so nothing needs to be arranged in advance), and 9.3 fixes the stay at 14 days.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
