      Micronesia Visa Policy

      According to the Federated States of Micronesia visa policy, all visitors coming to any of the islands must have a valid passport and other travel documents issued by their country of citizenship. The passport must be valid for 120 days as a bare minimum beyond their date of entry. This rule applies to all visitors except citizens of Micronesia, Palau, the Marshall Islands, and the United States. This selection of foreigners must prove their nationality or citizenship using their birth certificate or an entry permit already issued by the Micronesian authorities.

      The entry permit is valid for use for up to 12 months starting from the first day it is released to the holder, while those from other countries who need to hold valid passports can stay for up to 30 days with the option of extending that for another 30 to make it a total of 60 days. Furthermore, the authorities levy a departure tax on visitors which must be paid at the exit point.

      Visa Waiver Agreement

      There are outstanding visa waiver agreements between Micronesia and the European Union. This agreement has been in place for some time now, which allows citizens of EU countries that are part of the Schengen Area to stay in Micronesia for up to 90 days in 180 days you pursue any noneconomic interest they may have. Micronesian citizens also enjoy the same privilege for trips to Europe.

       Besides Schengen citizens, others who enjoy visa-free entry enjoy visits that span 30-90 days from 180 days to a year. If you are not from any visa-free countries, you must apply for a visa which can be done at any foreign mission or when you land in Micronesia.

      Tourist Policy

      The Federated States of Micronesia has a visa policy specially created to guide tourist activities in any of its islands. While a few nationals only require an ID card or entry permit, others must present a valid passport to the authorities. As a tourist, you must have sufficient funds for your expenses, but you must declare the funds if you have up to $10,000 or its equivalent. However, these restrictions still need to be put in place for the exit.

      Information about the visa process must be clearer, but you must visit the nearest embassy to know more. If there is no embassy where you reside, you can contact the visa agency handling documentation on behalf of the Micronesian authorities.

      Travel Information and Tips For Trips To Micronesia

      As you prepare for your visit, here are some things to remember.

      Anti-Drug Laws: Micronesia has a very harsh anti-drug policy that carries heavy sentences for drug offenses. Even the abuse of prescription drugs is frowned upon. Before your trip, ensure you don’t carry any medication that is banned in the country, and if you are on medication, declare all your drugs at the immigration counter once you arrive. In the rare occurrence where someone offers you drugs on the street, reject it and remove yourself from that vicinity immediately.

      Be Sexually Discrete: Micronesia has liberal and anti-discrimination laws protecting the LGBTQ community, but the islands remain deeply conservative. If you belong to the LGBTQ community, be discrete about your orientation so as not to attract negative feedback from the locals.

      Instances of Crime

      The Islands have a total population of 113,000, so crime is less rampant here compared to larger countries or territories, but they do occur. Regular petty crimes like burglaries and nonviolent theft include crimes against visitors in some of the biggest communities like Yak, Chuuk, and Pohnpei. Always take necessary precautions to protect yourself and your belongings when moving around. The crime rate in Chuuk is higher than in other areas because it is densely populated and avoids staying late on Weno, the main island. In rare cases, visitors are subject to physical or verbal abuse in Weno, but this isn’t as common.

      Overall, Micronesia is far more peaceful and safer than advanced countries.

      Mind Your Business: Avoid interfering in disputes between locals when you’re out and about. Alcohol-related accidents are common, especially at night and on weekends, so always take cognizance of your environment at all times.

      Undetonated Bombs Micronesia: Some of the islands in Micronesia were war theaters during the Second World War between the Japanese and the Allied forces. Some sites still contain war relics, such as undetonated mines, sunken ships, and more. When out in the open or at some historic landmarks, stick to your guide or the locals who know the area well. The channels of Yap Harbour are considered the most dangerous because they contain more wreckages and undetonated bombs, so tourists are advised to stay away from those areas.

      Rough Waves: If you love surfing, be mindful of areas that experience rough waves, which can be dangerous. When diving, always wear high-quality diving gear and other safety equipment and seek local advice for safe snorkeling, diving, and swimming sites.

      Visits During The Summer: If you visit during the summer, the weather can get really hot, so you may be tempted to wear as little clothing as possible, but this is a wrong move. Exposing your body is an act most locals consider offensive. Secondly, light clothing will expose your skin to Sunburn. The best clothing for summer months is cotton material, sunglasses, and sun hats. When out in the towns, stick to light-sleeved clothes with breathable holes.

      You should also protect yourself from mosquitos, especially if you visit in Summer but take precautions regardless of the season. Due to Micronesia’s tropical climate, diseases are common. There are Dengue fever and malaria outbreaks, especially in rural areas with poor hygiene and sanitation. Always use mosquito repellants or treated nets to cover your sleeping area, especially at night.

      Vaccinations: You may need to get some vaccines but consult your doctor to be sure. Some common vaccines required for visitors include Hepatitis A and B, Japanese Encephalitis, Typhoid, Rabies for those who plan to visit rainforest areas, Tetanus diphtheria, and more. Cholera outbreaks are common, so avoid drinking chilled water. Only stick to bottled water. Should you begin to feel sick, get medical attention immediately.

      Travel Medical Insurance: Get medical insurance if you can bring down the cost of medical treatment just in case you need to use any medical facility during your stay.

      How To Get A Visa/Pass Into The Federated States of Micronesia

      The process is quite easy, contrary to popular opinion. You can get it in one of two ways.

      Embassy/Licensed Agent: You can apply for pre-approval at a foreign mission office which takes a few days or weeks, depending on several factors. Due to a dearth in the number of embassies abroad, the government partners with licensed agents who serve as middlemen for entry applications. Once approved, you can travel to Micronesia, where your passport will be stamped at the entry point and issued an entry pass.

      On Arrival: The second option is to travel to Micronesia and get your pass at the entry point.

      Note: You don’t need a visa, but the entry procedure differs based on nationality.
