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 check-in may enforce a 6-month validity rule, but Micronesian immigration only requires validity for the stay. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa-free entry | Immigration at Pohnpei and Chuuk will ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in Micronesia. Officers at the border may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient cash or card for your stay | Have access to enough funds for your trip — around $100–$150 USD per day is a safe benchmark. Immigration rarely asks, but carrying a credit card and some cash ($200–$500) covers you. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive. If it's close to expiry, renew it before booking your flight.
No visa extensions available
You cannot extend your 30-day stay. If you overstay, you may face fines or deportation. Plan your trip accordingly.
