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. No minimum validity beyond your stay is required by law, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before departure. | 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 will check the date matches your intended stay. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation, hostel booking, or a letter from your host in Micronesia. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough money for your trip. There is no set minimum amount, but around $100 per day is a safe benchmark if questioned. | Recommended |
