| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Micronesia | Immigration at Pohnpei Airport will ask for a return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight out of Micronesia ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in Micronesia. Officers rarely ask, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |

Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Micronesia. Airlines check this before boarding — if it's close, renew first.
No visa, but be prepared
Visa-free doesn't mean no questions. Immigration may ask for your return ticket and accommodation. Have them ready on your phone or printed.
