Tips for Zambia travelers

  • Confirm onward flight connections well in advance, as flights to FSM are infrequent and often route through Guam or Hawaii
  • Carry proof of a confirmed return ticket and accommodation, as officers may request them despite the visa exemption
  • Register any planned extended stay with the Immigration Division promptly
  • Overstaying can lead to fines or future entry difficulties
  • Check current inter-island travel requirements if visiting multiple FSM states (Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei, Yap), as onward permits may apply
