Micronesia entry requirements for Sri Lanka passport holders
Sri Lankan passport holders can visit Micronesia visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism or business. This policy is effective as of 2026. Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your entry date.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Micronesia. Airlines at Colombo (CMB) may ask to see it before boarding, so double-check the expiry date. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Micronesia | Immigration at Pohnpei (PNI) will ask for a return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Have a printed copy or show it on your phone — they check this every time. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but if you're arriving without a plan, they might want to see where you're staying. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or credit card ready. Immigration can ask how you'll pay for your stay — $100–$200 per day is a safe buffer, though they rarely enforce a fixed amount. | Recommended |
