Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Micronesia. Airlines check this before boarding — if you're short, you'll be turned away.
No visa extension available
The 30-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. If you need more time, apply for a visa before you travel. Overstaying can lead to fines and future entry bans.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the airport
You'll land at Chuuk International Airport (TKK), Pohnpei International Airport (PNI), or Kosrae International Airport (KSA). Follow signs to the immigration hall.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport and completed arrival card (usually given on the plane). The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation details — have them ready on your phone or printed.
3
Get your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with a 30-day visa-free entry. Check the stamp says '30 days' before leaving the counter. If you need more time, ask about extensions before you exit.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel and proceed through customs. Declare any food, plants, or animal products — Micronesia is strict about biosecurity.
