Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Micronesia. Airlines at Cairo International Airport will check this before boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Micronesia | Immigration at Pohnpei Airport will ask to see a confirmed onward or return ticket before they stamp you in. Have a printed copy or show it on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. A printed reservation confirmation or a letter from your host works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Immigration can request evidence of sufficient funds, such as a bank statement or credit card. Have at least $100–$200 per day available in cash or card. | Recommended |
No visa needed — but don't skip the checklist
Visa-free entry is straightforward, but missing a return ticket or having a passport that expires too soon will get you turned away. Double-check your documents before you fly.
Medical evacuation is expensive
Micronesia has limited medical facilities. For serious issues, you'll need evacuation to Guam or Hawaii — costs can exceed $50,000. Travel insurance with evacuation coverage is strongly recommended.
