Passport & Entry Documents

‍

All visitors must present a valid passport or travel document issued by their country of citizenship or nationality. Your passport should be valid for at least 120 days beyond your date of entry into the FSM.

Citizens and nationals of the FSM, Republic of Palau, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the United States may also present a passport, birth certificate, or FSM entry permit as proof of citizenship or nationality.

Entry Permits

‍

• No permit is required for visits of 30 days or less.
• If you plan to stay longer than 30 days, you’ll need to complete an Entry Permit application.
• U.S., Palauan, Marshallese, and FSM citizens may be granted entry permits for visits of up to one year.
• All other nationalities may be granted an extension of up to 60 days.

All non-citizens not traveling as visitors must apply for an entry permit before arrival in the FSM. You can download the Entry Permit application here. For specific visa or permit questions, contact the Division of Immigration & Labor using the information below.

All non-citizens arriving without a valid permit must fill out a Customs, Immigration & Quarantine (CIQ) Form, provided during your flight.
