Visa requirements for Micronesian citizens explained

Visa requirements for Micronesian citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of the Federated States of Micronesia. As of 23 July 2024, Micronesian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 124 countries and territories, ranking the Micronesian passport 42nd in terms of travel freedom (tied with passport from Kiribati, Palau Islands and Venezuela) according to the Henley Passport Index.[1]

Micronesia signed a mutual visa waiver agreement with Schengen Area countries on 20 September 2016.[2]
