Guide last updated September 12, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry
  • Proof of onward or return travel - Palau checks this closely before boarding and again on arrival
  • Evidence of sufficient funds for the stay
  • A completed arrival card, usually distributed on the flight or available at the immigration counter
  • No photos or biometrics required beyond a photo sometimes taken at the immigration counter
  • Travel health insurance is recommended but not mandatory

Visa types

  • Visitor entry permit issued on arrival, valid for a stay of up to 30 days, extendable
  • Extended stay permits for longer visits (up to 1 year total) can be requested from the Bureau of Immigration in Koror after arrival
  • Work and residence permits require a local sponsor and are arranged separately, not on arrival

Visa on arrival

  • Available at Roman Tmetuchl International Airport (Koror/Airai)
  • Steps: complete the arrival card, present passport and return ticket to the immigration officer, receive the 30-day entry stamp at no additional charge
  • Before departure, all travelers must pay the Pristine Paradise Environmental Fee (Green Fee), currently around USD 100, collected at the airport departure counter
  • No cash visa fee is charged on arrival itself; only the departure Green Fee applies

Fees & processing time

  • Entry permit on arrival: no charge
  • Pristine Paradise Environmental Fee, paid on departure: approximately USD 100
  • Extension of stay beyond 30 days, if needed, incurs a separate fee at the Bureau of Immigration, typically around USD 50 per extension period
  • Processing at the airport immigration counter typically takes 10-20 minutes
  • No express option is needed given the straightforward on-arrival process

Tips for Algeria travelers

  • Since Palau has no diplomatic mission in Algeria, confirm current entry requirements with the nearest honorary consulate or through the airline before departure
  • Carry proof of a confirmed onward or return ticket, as this is checked closely given Palau's small tourism infrastructure
  • Budget for the Green Fee in USD cash or card, payable only at departure, not on arrival
  • Extensions are straightforward but should be requested at the Bureau of Immigration in Koror before the initial 30 days expire
  • Given limited flight connections, plan the return leg carefully, as missed flights can be costly to rebook
