If you are transiting and not leaving the airport, you generally do not need a visa. However, check with your airline—some require a visa for any entry into the country. For most transit situations, the 30-day visa-free policy applies if you do leave the airport.
You will likely be denied entry. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced. Renew your passport before traveling.
No, proof of funds is not required for Nepali passport holders entering Micronesia visa-free. However, having a credit card or some cash (USD) is practical—the local currency is the US dollar.
