Réunion Time (RET) operates at UTC+4 hours year-round without daylight saving adjustments. Also known as "Réunion Standard Time," RET is the official time zone of Réunion, a French overseas department located in the Indian Ocean, providing a consistent and stable time reference across the island.
Importance and Global Use of RET
RET is essential for coordinating daily life, public services, and economic activities on the island. A fixed and predictable time zone supports tourism, transport, and local business operations, allowing efficient scheduling for flights, shipping, and administrative services within Réunion.
Internationally, Réunion Time helps align the island's activities with neighboring Indian Ocean countries and with France's other overseas territories. Its UTC+4 offset supports clear coordination of travel, trade, and diplomatic links with regional partners in Africa, Asia, and the wider Indian Ocean community.
