Travel Authorisation Micronesia

Description

Swiss citizens can travel to the Federated States of Micronesia without needing a visa for short stays. The visa-free entry allows visits of up to 90 days within any 180-day period, making Micronesia an accessible destination for tourism, business, or family visits.

Our Travel Authorisation Micronesia service ensures Swiss travelers are informed about the necessary documentation, health precautions, and customs regulations to enjoy a seamless arrival and stay.

Visa process and timing:
No visa application is required before travel. Swiss citizens present their valid passport upon arrival at international airports in Micronesia, such as Pohnpei International Airport, or at official sea ports. Immigration officers grant entry immediately and record the permitted stay in the passport. Extensions beyond 90 days may be requested at the Division of Immigration and must be approved in advance of overstaying.

Entry requirements for Swiss citizens include:

• A Swiss passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended stay

• Return or onward travel ticket

• Proof of sufficient funds to support the stay

• Hotel booking or host contact details (if requested by border officials)

Health and insurance requirements:
Micronesia does not impose mandatory vaccination requirements for Swiss travelers. However, those arriving from or transiting through countries with yellow fever risk must carry a valid vaccination certificate. Travelers should be up to date with routine vaccinations, and hepatitis A and typhoid are recommended due to regional health risks. Comprehensive travel insurance covering medical care and emergency evacuation is highly recommended, as healthcare facilities are limited outside major islands like Pohnpei.

Customs and border rules:
Personal items for private use may be brought duty-free. Import restrictions apply to firearms, controlled drugs, and certain agricultural products. Travelers carrying more than the equivalent of US $10,000 in cash must declare it. Exporting cultural artifacts, shells, or coral without permission is prohibited.

Stay limits and extensions:
Swiss citizens are typically permitted to remain for up to 90 days without a visa. For longer stays, extensions must be applied for at the Division of Immigration in the Federated States of Micronesia. Those intending to work, study, or reside need to secure special permits before travel.

Micronesia offers Swiss travelers stunning Pacific scenery, from coral atolls and turquoise lagoons to lush volcanic islands and traditional culture. With our Travel Authorisation Micronesia service, Swiss citizens gain clear guidance on entry requirements, health preparation, and customs rules for a smooth journey.
