Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |

| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Pohnpei and Chuuk airports check for a confirmed onward or return ticket before granting entry. Have your booking confirmation ready — either printed or on your phone. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | While not always asked, having a hotel booking or a letter of invitation from a host in Micronesia can speed up the immigration process. Keep a copy on your phone or printed. | Recommended |

Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Micronesia. If it is close to expiring, renew it before you go.
Travel insurance is smart
Medical care in Micronesia is limited and expensive. A hospital stay can cost hundreds of dollars per day. Travel insurance covers that and gives you peace of mind.
