  • Proof of accommodation
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the stay
  • No passport photo or application form required for the visa-free entry
  • Biometrics: not required
  • Travel health insurance recommended given limited medical facilities on outer islands

Visa types

  • Visa-free Tourist/Business entry: up to 30 days, single entry per visit, no fee
  • Extension Permit: for stays beyond 30 days, applied for at the FSM Division of Immigration, typically extendable to a 90-day total
  • Entry Permit for work/residence: requires sponsorship by an FSM-registered employer, processed separately

Entry conditions

  • Up to 30 days granted on arrival without a visa for tourism or business meetings
  • Employment is not permitted under the visa-free entry
  • Travelers must show proof of onward travel and accommodation at the port of entry
  • Extensions must be requested from the Division of Immigration before the initial 30 days lapse
  • Entry points are limited to a few islands (Pohnpei, Chuuk, Yap, Kosrae); confirm which island the flight serves

Fees & processing time

  • Visa-free entry: no fee
  • Extension fee: approximately USD 50, processed within a few working days at the local Division of Immigration office
  • No agency/service fee required for the visa-free entry
  • No express option; extensions are handled locally island-by-island

Tips for China travelers

  • Confirm onward flight connections carefully, as inter-island and international flights (via Guam) are infrequent
  • Carry cash in US dollars, the official currency, since card acceptance is very limited outside the main centers
  • Apply for any extension early given the limited administrative capacity on each island
  • Health facilities are basic; travelers with medical conditions should carry adequate supplies and insurance covering medical evacuation
  • Check fsmgov.org for current entry requirements before travel, as policies can be updated
