All persons entering the FSM must carry with them a passport valid for 120 days after departure, a record of their departure plans and have applied for any required entry permits prior to arrival.
Any non-citizen visitor of the FSM staying longer then 30 days must apply for an entry permit. Entry permits for visitors will last for no longer than 60 days. Forms for all types of entry permits can be downloaded online.
