Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free entry is not extendable. You must leave before your 30 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines or being barred from re-entry.
If you're transiting and not leaving the airport, you generally don't need a visa. But check with your airline — some require a visa for any stopover. For stays under 24 hours without leaving the transit area, you're fine.
You'll be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry at immigration. Renew your passport before you travel. No exceptions.
No mandatory vaccinations for Turkish passport holders. But yellow fever vaccine is required if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Check the CDC or WHO website for current recommendations.
No. The 30-day visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, or short visits only. For work or study, you need to apply for the appropriate visa before you travel.
The US dollar (USD) is the official currency. Credit cards are accepted at major hotels and some restaurants in Pohnpei and Chuuk, but cash is king on the outer islands. ATMs are limited — bring enough cash for your stay.
No arrival declaration form is required. You just walk through immigration and customs. But be honest if asked — they may inspect bags for restricted items like fresh fruit or meat.
