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 stay in Micronesia. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by law, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Micronesia | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they won't let you through without one. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel reservation confirmation or a letter from your host in Micronesia. Officers rarely ask, but having it ready avoids delays at the immigration counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Evidence of sufficient money for your stay | Have a bank statement or credit card showing you can cover your expenses while in Micronesia. No specific minimum amount is published, but showing at least $500 USD for a short trip is a safe bet. | Recommended |
No visa needed, but be prepared
Mozambican passport holders get 30 days visa-free. However, immigration may still ask for proof of onward travel and accommodation. Have these ready to avoid delays.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. Airlines check this before boarding — if it's close, renew before you fly.
