The Falepili Union offers Tuvaluans “mobility with dignity.” The first year of the Falepili Mobility Pathway has exposed a harder question. Visa holders are also free to travel between Australia and Tuvalu, and migration can produce remittances, education, and professional networks that benefit those who remain. The Falepili Mobility Pathway should therefore be understood not as the cause of a new crisis, but as a potential force multiplier for an existing one. The Falepili Union is a groundbreaking expansion of choice for Tuvaluans.
