Immigration Offices

Located at Bairiki 01°19.715N / 172°58.659E. This is 3.5 miles (one way) from Betio so you will want to take the bus, hitchhike, or rent a car.

To get to immigration, take a bus to Bauriki, across the causeway and get off in front of the town square.  With the ANZ/bank on your left, walk down the road on your right, towards the water tower.  You’ll walk past some vendors and across from the water tower you will see a few government offices.  Immigration is the first one.
