Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Micronesia | Your passport needs to be valid for the full duration of your 30-day stay. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires before you leave Micronesia, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa-free entry | Immigration officers at Pohnpei and Chuuk airports ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket before they stamp you in. Budget airlines flying into Micronesia also check this at check-in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a printed hotel reservation or a letter from your host ready. Immigration may ask where you are staying — having a booking confirmation avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient cash or card for your stay | Carry enough cash or a credit card to cover your expenses. Micronesia is cash-heavy on outer islands — ATMs are scarce outside the capital. Immigration rarely asks, but it helps if questioned. | Recommended |
Visa-free entry — no application needed
Lebanese passport holders get 30 days visa-free in Micronesia. Just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket. No embassy visit, no visa fee.
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Micronesia. Airlines check this before boarding. If it's close, renew before you travel.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free entry is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a visa at the Micronesia Immigration Office in Palikir before your 30 days are up. Extensions are rarely granted, so plan accordingly.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. The 6 months are counted from your entry date, not your departure.
If you're transiting and not leaving the airport, you generally don't need a visa. But check with your airline — some require a visa for any stopover. For stays under 24 hours, the same visa-free rules apply if you leave the airport.
Your passport (valid 6+ months), return/onward ticket, and proof of first night accommodation. Travel insurance is not mandatory but strongly recommended. Keep digital copies on your phone.
Yes, there is a departure fee of $20 USD per person, usually paid at the airport before check-in. Some airlines include it in your ticket — check with your carrier. Have cash ready just in case.
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. Contact the Micronesia Immigration Office in Palikir for details.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You may be fined, detained, or banned from re-entering. If you need more time, apply for an extension before your 30 days expire — but extensions are not guaranteed.
