The 60-second version
French Polynesia has no listed exchange — expats close bank custody or offshore fund folios, wire XPF to NRE, and disclose in Schedule FA.
No local exchange — Papeete custody at Banque de Tahiti or offshore broker
French Polynesia does not operate a listed exchange — investment accounts are bank custody or offshore XPF fund folios.
Redeem holdings and obtain custody termination before closing linked XPF bank account.
