Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your Swedish passport needs to be valid for the full duration of your 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 Required for visa-free entry | Immigration officers at Pohnpei and Chuuk airports will ask to see a confirmed onward ticket out of Micronesia. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or next-destination flight ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Micronesia. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Have a bank statement or credit card ready showing you have enough money for your trip. No fixed amount is published, but around $100 per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
No visa needed — but don't skip the checklist
Even though there's no visa, immigration will check your passport validity, onward ticket, and accommodation. Have them ready at the counter.
Medical evacuation is expensive
Micronesia has basic medical facilities. For serious issues, you'll be evacuated to Guam or Hawaii — costs can exceed $50,000. Travel insurance with evacuation coverage is strongly recommended.

If you're transiting and not leaving the airport, you generally don't need a visa. But most international flights to Micronesia are direct from Guam or Hawaii, so transit is rare. Check with your airline.
You will likely be denied entry. Renew your passport before traveling. The 6-month rule is strictly enforced.
No, it's not required by law. But medical facilities are limited and evacuation to Guam or Hawaii can cost thousands. Get insurance that covers medical evacuation.

No. The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, or short visits only. For work or study, you need a proper visa or permit arranged before travel.
