Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your Polish passport needs to be valid for the full duration of your stay in Micronesia. No minimum validity beyond departure is required by Micronesian immigration, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure required | Immigration officers in Micronesia routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket before granting entry. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready to show at the border. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter of invitation from your host in Micronesia. Officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-arranged itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient cash or card | Have access to at least $100–$200 USD per day of your stay, either in cash, traveler's cheques, or a credit card statement. Micronesian immigration rarely checks this, but it helps if questioned. | Recommended |
No visa needed, but be prepared
You don't need a visa, but immigration will check your passport validity, return ticket, and accommodation. Have these ready to avoid delays.
Healthcare is limited and expensive
Medical facilities in Micronesia are basic. For serious issues, you may need evacuation to Guam or Hawaii. Travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage is strongly recommended.
