Visas: No visa is required; a visitor permit will be issued on arrival. The permit should be valid for one month, providing you have sufficient funds, proof of accommodation, and an onward ticket. The permit may be extended to a maximum of three months.
Health risks: Water is both in short supply and undrinkable in its untreated state. At the very least it should be boiled for a couple of minutes. The mozzies are non-malarial. If you're arriving from a yellow fever-infected area you will require a vaccination certificate. Hepatitis A, B, dengue fever and filariasis are all present, but the main problem will be the tendency for cuts and abrasions (common due to abundant coral) to turn septic. Pack antiseptic cream.
