Filming in public spaces requires permits, with procedures varying by province:
- Province Sud: Requests are handled by the Bureau d’Accueil des Tournages.
- Province Nord and the Loyalty Islands: Requests must be submitted to the local town halls or provincial authorities. The Province Sud Film Office can act as a first point of contact to guide you.
For shoots on customary land, permission must also be obtained in advance from district chiefs, and the customary gesture (geste coutumier) should be made with the relevant tribes.
