Visa-free but not automatic
Even though no visa is needed, immigration officers still have the final say. Have all documents ready — passport, return ticket, accommodation proof.
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for 6 months from your entry date. Airlines check this before boarding. If it's close to expiry, renew first.
What happens at the border

Arrival at Bonriki International Airport (TRW)
After landing, follow signs to immigration. Join the queue for foreign passport holders. Have your passport, return ticket (screenshot or printed), and accommodation confirmation ready. The officer will stamp you in for up to 90 days. No visa fee.

Prepare documents before the queue
While waiting, pull up your return ticket and hotel booking on your phone. Keep your passport open at the photo page. This speeds things up.

Exit immigration
After stamping, collect your luggage from baggage claim. There's no customs declaration form for most visitors. Walk through the green channel if you have nothing to declare.
