Micronesia rules for every passport
Vaccinations, customs limits and penalties are the same for every traveller.
Vaccinations
- Yellow fever, cholera and smallpox: the certificate is only required from travellers arriving from an affected region.
Customs limits
- Cash
- Amounts of 10,000 US dollars or more must be declared to customs on entry and exit.
Overstay penalties
Staying longer requires an extension from the local immigration office, which can take time; Spain's Foreign Ministry mentions up to 60 more days. Studying or working for more than 30 days requires an entry permit applied for before arrival.
Grounds for refusal
- A passport with less validity than required.
- Having no ticket out of the country.
- Arriving to work or study without an entry permit.
Travel insurance
Each destination decides whether to require insurance, and some check it at the border. If yours does, make sure the policy covers the whole trip.

Do you need a different visa for Palikir, Kolonia, or Weno?
No. Micronesia sets the requirements, so entering through Palikir asks for the same as entering through Kolonia or Weno. If you're arriving overland or through a small border post, check that separately: some countries apply their own rules to specific crossings.
What does change is where you file the application when a visa is needed, and that depends on the country you live in rather than the city you're travelling to.
What draws travellers to Micronesia
Nan Madol, off the coast of Pohnpei, joined the World Heritage List in 2016: around a hundred artificial islets built from basalt columns and coral boulders, with the remains of stone palaces, temples, tombs and houses. It was the ceremonial centre of the Saudeleur dynasty between the 13th and 16th centuries. It was inscribed at the same time on the List of World Heritage in Danger, mainly because of silting in its waterways. Spain's Foreign Ministry warns that flights are often cancelled, that medical facilities are very limited and that travellers should protect themselves from mosquitoes because of dengue and Zika.
