Important Tips

•There is a departure tax (around $20 USD) that must be paid in cash at the airport when you leave.
•The official currency is the US Dollar (USD). Cash is king here; credit cards are only accepted in major hotels and a few stores.
•Medical facilities are very basic. Comprehensive travel health insurance with medical evacuation coverage is absolutely essential.
•Modest dress is required outside of resort areas; women should ensure their thighs are covered (e.g., wear long shorts or skirts).
•Flights to Micronesia almost always transit through Guam or Hawaii, meaning you MUST have a US ESTA or transit visa.

Easiest Way to Get It

Secure your US ESTA for transit, bring enough US Dollars in cash, and present your Spanish passport upon arrival for a straightforward 30-day stay.

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.

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.
