| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Micronesia | Immigration at Pohnpei Airport asks for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed copy or show it on your phone. | Recommended |

Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. Airlines check this before boarding — if you're short, you won't fly. No exceptions.
No visa needed — but be prepared

Frequently asked questions
No, the 30-day visa-free period cannot be extended. You must leave before it expires or apply for a different visa type before travel. Overstaying can result in fines or deportation.
If you're transiting and not leaving the airport, you generally do not need a visa. But check with your airline — some carriers require a visa for any stopover. If you need to clear immigration (e.g., overnight layover), the 30-day visa-free rule applies.
You will likely be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry by Micronesian immigration. Renew your passport before you travel. There are no exceptions.
No, there is no visa on arrival. Cambodian passport holders get visa-free entry for up to 30 days. No application or fee is needed.
Officially, proof of funds is not required for Cambodian passport holders under the visa-free arrangement. However, if immigration suspects you can't support yourself, they may ask. It's wise to carry a credit card or some cash (USD) just in case.
The US dollar (USD) is the official currency. ATMs are available on the main islands (Pohnpei, Chuuk, Kosrae) but can be unreliable. Bring enough cash for your stay, especially if visiting outer islands. Credit cards are accepted at major hotels but not everywhere.
No mandatory vaccinations are required for entry. However, the CDC recommends routine vaccines (MMR, polio, etc.) and hepatitis A and typhoid shots. Mosquito-borne illnesses like dengue are present, so bring insect repellent.
