Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Micronesia. Airlines at departure may ask to see your passport validity — carry a copy of your flight itinerary just in case. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Micronesia | Immigration at Pohnpei Airport will ask for a confirmed return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Budget airlines flying into Micronesia check this at check-in too — have your booking confirmation ready on your phone or printed. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers rarely ask for it, but having a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host speeds things up if they do. A simple booking printout or email works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | No set amount is published for Micronesia, but carrying a credit card or a bank statement showing a few hundred dollars covers you if an officer asks. I've never been asked myself, but better safe than stuck at the counter. | 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. Always carry a printed copy of your return ticket and accommodation booking.
Passport validity is strict
Micronesia requires 6 months of passport validity from your entry date. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport is close to expiring, renew it first.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free entry is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must leave and re-enter, or apply for a visa from a Micronesian embassy before travel. There is no extension process at immigration.
No, entry is free. You don't pay anything at immigration for the 30-day visa-free period.
You will likely be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry by Micronesian immigration. Renew your passport before you travel — it's not worth the risk.
If you're transiting and staying airside (not passing through immigration), you don't need a visa. But if you need to enter the country for any reason, the 30-day visa-free rule applies.
No, the visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, or short visits only. For work or study, you need a proper visa or permit arranged before travel.
Proof of funds is not officially required for visa-free entry, but it's smart to have a credit card or bank statement showing you can cover your stay. Immigration rarely asks, but it's good backup.
No mandatory vaccinations for Micronesia, but check routine vaccines (like MMR, tetanus) are up to date. Yellow fever vaccine is required if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk — Bangladesh is not on that list.
