Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the full 30 days you plan to stay in Micronesia. Airlines at check-in may ask to see your passport validity — have it ready. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Micronesia | Immigration at Pohnpei Airport will ask for a return or onward ticket before letting you through. A printed itinerary or digital boarding pass works — just show it at the counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed or digital hotel reservation for your entire stay. If staying with friends, have their address and phone number written down — officers sometimes ask for it. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or credit card ready showing enough funds for 30 days. Around $500–$1,000 USD is a safe range — officers rarely check but can ask. | Recommended |
No visa needed — but be prepared
You don't need a visa, but immigration can still deny entry if your documents aren't in order. Have your passport, return ticket, and accommodation ready.
Medical costs are high
Micronesia has limited medical facilities. A simple hospital visit can cost hundreds of dollars. Travel insurance is strongly recommended.
