Rules in force · 9Cards are accepted at few places
- 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.
- Federated States of Micronesia ↗Entry rules are set by the FSM government, and each state also checks arrivals: confirm the rules for your passport with FSM immigration or an FSM embassy before booking.
- Federated States of Micronesia ↗The Chuuk Lagoon wrecks are protected war graves and historic sites: removing anything is prohibited, and a dive permit is required.
- Federated States of Micronesia ↗Land and reefs are owned by families and clans: ask permission and pay fees to visit sites, beaches or villages, especially in Yap.
- Pohnpei ↗Sites and reefs belong to families and clans: ask permission and pay any fee before you go in.
- Kolonia ↗Cards are accepted at few places: carry US dollars in small notes for taxis, guides, site fees and meals.
- Kolonia ↗Rain falls most days and can flood tracks and low roads: keep a covered plan for every outdoor stop.
