Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay in Micronesia | Your Estonian passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in the Federated States of Micronesia. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Micronesian immigration, but your airline may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Micronesia | Immigration at Pohnpei and Chuuk airports will ask to see a confirmed onward or return ticket before granting entry. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight itinerary ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel reservation confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Micronesia. Immigration officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have access to enough cash or credit to cover your expenses — around $100–$150 USD per day is a safe benchmark. Micronesian immigration rarely checks this, but it helps if questioned. | Recommended |
Medical care is limited
Micronesia has basic medical facilities. For serious issues, you'll be evacuated to Guam or Hawaii. Travel insurance with evacuation coverage is strongly advised.
Overstaying is serious
The 90-day limit is strict. Overstaying can lead to fines, detention, and a ban from re-entering. Set a reminder to leave on time.
