Official wording

Le présent code régit, sous réserve du droit de l'Union européenne et des conventions internationales, l'entrée, le séjour et l'éloignement des étrangers en France ainsi que l'exercice du droit d'asile. … Sont considérées comme étrangers au sens du présent code les personnes qui n'ont pas la nationalité française, soit qu'elles aient une nationalité étrangère, soit qu'elles n'aient pas de nationalité.

Aevamo’s reading

The arrêté du 29 décembre 2011 (as amended in 2022 and 2025) is the instrument that imposes the short-stay visa requirement for entry to French Polynesia and, in its annex II, defines the nationality-based exemptions; it is the text a border official applies, not a description of it. The CESEDA supplies the underlying general obligation (L. 311-1 as adapted for PF) and the separate EU-citizen regime in Book II.

The CESEDA governs the entry and stay of 'étrangers' and defines an étranger as someone who does not have French nationality; a French citizen is therefore outside the visa regime for French Polynesia, with no advance authorisation and no stay cap.

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.
