Australians repatriation

Australian High Commission assists Australians in Tonga repatriate during COVID-19 crisis

The High Commission has assisted three charter flights and facilitated the return of some 50 Australian citizens and permanent residents since 25 March 2020.

The Australian High Commissioner to Tonga, Adrian Morrison, said the High Commission was working closely with the Tongan government and other governments, private organisations and airlines to assist Australians and permanent residents, noting that there were limitations in light of Tonga’s own COVID-19 restrictions.
