French Polynesia [ˈfrɛntʃ pɒlɨˈniːʒə] (help·info) (French: Polynésie française, Tahitian: Pōrīnetia Farāni) is a French overseas collectivity in the southern Pacific Ocean. It is made up of several groups of Polynesian islands, the most famous island being Tahiti in the Society Islands group, which is also the most populous island and the seat of the capital of the territory (Papeete). Although not an integral part of its territory, Clipperton Island was administered from French Polynesia until 2007.

Are citizens of the European Union eligible to live in French Polynesia?
Q. I'm a romanian citizen. Can I live permanently in the French Polynesia?
Asked by LouisG - Mon Nov 30 21:16:33 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It doesn't look that way.It seems that option is available only to French Citizens. "Work French citizens are not required to comply with any formalities but for everyone else, even other EU citizens (with the exception of those with very specialised skills), it is difficult to work in French Polynesia. Unless you are a Japanese pearl grafter, a tourist guide, a Chinese chef or a banking executive, you stand little chance. Authorisation to take up paid employment is subject to the granting of a temporary-residence permit, issued by the French state, and a work permit, issued by the territory."

Q. I need help for an assignment and i can not find the answer anywhere can anyone help?

A. It is because the French had colonies there starting in the 1800s; it is still a French possession. So, like other places that were part of the French colonial empire, the French language was used for official matters, and there were French people there in government etc

A. I wish I could find an answer on the internet but couldn't. Your best bet is to ask the natives there. Also if there are Chinese, Philipinos and other asians there you could find out the answer from them. Good luck if you are still in French Polynesia. If not ask the tourist center for the islands.
