Repatriation flights for Tongans stranded in Australia, Vanuatu, Fiji and Samoa have been confirmed for 18 January 2022.

A repatriation flight from New Zealand is also confirmed tentatively for 20 January.

So far, 3,122 people have been repatriated to Tonga since the border restrictions began in March 2020.
