Entry & Advisories / Polar & Expedition

Antarctica is not a sovereign country. Expedition operators and national programs set visitor rules. Use the U.S. Department of State page and IAATO guidance, then confirm with your expedition. VH Luxe treats this as planning context, not a legal determination.

Where to find official information

Visa and entry rules are set by the destination government and can change. We do not publish a visa chart. Check the official page, then we confirm the details against your passport and routing.
