Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Micronesia. Airlines at departure may enforce a 6-month validity rule, so check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure required | Immigration officers in Micronesia routinely ask for a confirmed return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or digital booking ready to show at the border. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Micronesia. Officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient cash or card | Have access to at least $100–$200 per day of your stay, either in cash or on a credit card. Micronesia is cash-heavy on outer islands, so bring US dollars. | Recommended |
No extensions — plan your exit
You cannot extend your 30-day visa-free stay. If you need more time, you must leave the country and re-enter. Overstaying can lead to fines and a ban.
Cash is king on outer islands
ATMs are rare outside Pohnpei, Chuuk, and Yap. Bring enough US dollars for your entire stay, especially if you plan to visit remote islands.
Medical evacuation can be costly
Micronesia's medical facilities are basic. For serious issues, you'll be evacuated to Guam or Hawaii. Travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage is not just nice to have — it's a financial necessity.

No. Extensions are not permitted for visa-free entries. If you need to stay longer, you must leave Micronesia (e.g., fly to Guam or Hawaii) and re-enter. Overstaying can result in fines and future entry bans.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You may be fined, detained, and banned from re-entering Micronesia. The exact fine amount is not publicly listed, but it's best to avoid overstaying entirely. If you realize you'll overstay, contact the Department of Immigration in Palikir immediately.
No. If you remain airside (don't pass through immigration) and have a confirmed onward ticket, you don't need any visa. The main transit airports are Chuuk (TKK), Pohnpei (PNI), Kosrae (KSA), and Yap (YAP).
Yellow fever vaccine is required only if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever transmission. Recommended vaccines include Hepatitis A, Typhoid, routine vaccines (MMR, DTP, polio), and Hepatitis B. Consider rabies if you'll be around animals. There's no malaria risk in most areas, but dengue is present — use mosquito repellent.
