Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Micronesia | Your Latvian passport needs to be valid for the full duration of your stay in Micronesia. Airlines at check-in will verify this before you board. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa-free entry | Immigration officers in Micronesia will ask to see a confirmed onward or return flight out of the country before they stamp you in. Have your booking confirmation ready on your phone or printed. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a hotel reservation or a letter from your host ready. Officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough money for your stay. Micronesia is remote and expensive — $100–150 per day is a realistic budget. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive. If it's close to expiring, renew before you go — you won't be let in otherwise.
No visa, no extension
You get 90 days visa-free, but you can't extend it. Plan your trip so you leave before the stamp expires.
