Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Micronesia. Airlines at check-in may ask to see your passport validity — have it ready. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers in Micronesia will ask to see a confirmed return or onward ticket before granting entry. Book a refundable ticket if your plans are flexible. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a hotel reservation or a letter from your host ready. Officers rarely ask, but it speeds things up if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient for your stay | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you can cover your expenses. No fixed amount is published, but $100–$200 per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
No visa needed — but don't skip the checklist
Visa-free entry is straightforward, but immigration officers still check passport validity and onward tickets. Have everything ready to avoid delays.
Overstaying is not worth it
The 30-day period is strict and not extendable. Overstaying can lead to fines and future entry bans. Set a reminder to leave on time.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at immigration
At the airport in Palikir (Pohnpei) or Chuuk, follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Arrivals'. Queues are usually short — expect to wait 5–15 minutes.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport and completed arrival card (given on the plane). The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation — have them ready on your phone or printed.
3
Get stamped in
The officer will stamp your passport with a 30-day entry. Check the stamp before walking away — make sure the date is correct.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel and walk through customs. There's usually no baggage check unless you're carrying restricted items.

Frequently asked questions
No. The 30-day visa-free period is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must leave Micronesia and re-enter, or apply for a different visa type before travel.
You will be denied entry. Renew your passport before traveling. The 6 months are counted from your date of arrival, not your departure.
If you're transiting through Micronesia (e.g., flying from Guam to Chuuk and then on to another country), you still need to meet the same entry requirements — valid passport and onward ticket. No transit visa is needed for Indonesian passport holders.
No vaccinations are officially required for entry. However, routine vaccines (MMR, tetanus, polio) are recommended. Check with your doctor 4–6 weeks before travel.
No. The 30-day visa-free stay is for tourism, business meetings, or short visits only. For work or study, you need a proper visa or permit arranged before travel.
Overstaying can result in fines, detention, and a ban from re-entering Micronesia. The exact penalty depends on the length of overstay — avoid it by leaving on time.
No. There is no online arrival declaration. You'll fill out a paper arrival card on the plane or at the airport — standard for most Pacific island nations.
