Entry requirements

Cash only for visa fee
The $50 visa on arrival fee must be paid in cash (USD). No credit cards, no other currencies. ATMs are available at the airport but bring enough cash to avoid last-minute stress.
6-month passport rule strictly enforced
Palau immigration checks passport validity from your entry date, not your departure date. If your passport expires within 6 months of landing, you'll be denied entry. No exceptions.
