Step-by-Step Application Process

Verify Passport and Flights

Ensure your passport is valid for at least 120 days beyond your entry date and that you have a confirmed return or onward ticket.

Transit Visas

Check your flight route. Flights to Micronesia almost always transit through Guam or Hawaii. You MUST have a valid US Transit Visa (C-1) or US Tourist Visa (B1/B2).

Arrival Immigration

Upon landing at a Micronesian airport (e.g., Pohnpei or Chuuk), fill out the arrival card and present your passport and return ticket to the officer.

Entry Granted

The officer will stamp your passport, allowing a stay of up to 30 days.

Required Documents

—Valid Chinese passport (at least 120 days validity beyond the date of entry)
—Confirmed return or onward flight ticket
—Valid US Visa (essential for transit through Guam/Hawaii)
—Completed Arrival/Departure record (provided on the plane)

Important Tips

•The lack of direct flights makes a US Visa the unofficial requirement for visiting Micronesia. You will be denied boarding in Asia without it.
•Ensure your US Visa is valid for the duration of your trip, as you will need it for the return transit as well.
•You must pay a departure tax (usually around US$20) in cash when leaving Micronesia, so keep some US Dollars handy.

Easiest Way to Get It

Obtain a 10-year US B1/B2 visa first. With that, book your flights via Guam, and enjoy a hassle-free, visa-exempt entry upon arrival in Micronesia.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.

Discover Micronesia

The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is a sprawling archipelagic nation in the western Pacific, comprising four states: Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae. It is world-renowned for its ancient ruins like Nan Madol, stunning coral reefs, and the famous wreck diving in Chuuk Lagoon.

Palikir

The capital city located on the island of Pohnpei, serving as the political center surrounded by lush tropical mountains.

Best Time: December to April (Drier season, best for clarity and hiking)

Currency: United States Dollar (USD)

Daily Budget: $80-160/day

Safety & Scams

Generally very safe with low crime rates; petty theft can occur in urban areas, so keep valuables secure; exercise caution when swimming or diving due to currents; protect yourself from the intense tropical sun; medical facilities are basic, so comprehensive travel insurance is essential.

Getting Around

Internal travel between the four states is primarily by air (United Airlines); taxis are available in main towns; car rentals are common on Pohnpei and Yap; 'benjo' boats are used for lagoon travel; walking is easy within most village centers.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect for traditional leaders (Chiefs) is very high; greetings should be polite; dress modestly, especially outside of beaches (cover shoulders and knees in villages); always ask permission before taking photos of people or private property; Sunday is widely observed as a quiet day of rest.

Internet & Connectivity

Digital connectivity is centralized in state capitals; 3G/4G is available via FSMTC but can be slow; remote islands have little to no internet access; many hotels provide Wi-Fi, though bandwidth may be limited across the islands.
