Entry/Exit Requirements

If you are a U.S. citizen visiting Palau for one year or less, you do not need a visa.  To visit Palau, you must have a passport valid for at least six months at the time of entry.  This requirement does not apply to United States military personnel traveling or visiting Palau on official business.

U.S. Military Personnel

• U.S. military personnel must present official orders or documents certifying their status. 
• U.S. military dependents ten years or older must have a U.S. Government-issued photo-ID card showing the name, date of birth, and their status. 
• Dependents under ten years will be granted entry if they are listed in the official orders. 

There is currently a departure tax and green fee totaling 50 USD.  Cholera and yellow fever immunizations are required for those arriving from infected areas.
