Rules in force · 9Hot pavements and long gaps between shade
- Oceania ↗Oceania's island states guard their farms and reefs at the border: tick 'yes' on the arrival card for any food, plant, animal product, soil or used outdoor gear, and let the officer decide.
- Oceania ↗Across the tropical South Pacific, cyclones are possible from November to April: choose insurance that covers weather delays and keep one spare night before a long-haul departure.
- Micronesia ↗Micronesia runs on a handful of weekly flights, so one cancellation can cost several days: build slack into every connection between islands.
- Northern Mariana Islands ↗US entry rules apply: a US visa, ESTA, or eligibility for the Guam–CNMI Visa Waiver Program. Check US Customs and Border Protection for your passport, and note that the Guam–CNMI waiver does not allow travel on to the rest of the US.
- Northern Mariana Islands ↗The CNMI runs its own customs and quarantine check: declare food, plants and animal products on arrival.
- Northern Mariana Islands ↗Second World War sites (Banzai Cliff, Tinian's North Field) are memorials; do not remove relics or climb on structures.
- Saipan ↗From July to November a typhoon can close the airport and the boats: keep a spare day before an international flight.
- Garapan (Saipan) ↗Hot pavements and long gaps between shade: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Garapan (Saipan) ↗From July to November a typhoon can close the airport and the Managaha boats: keep a spare day before an international flight and check the official forecast.
