Do Micronesian Citizens Need a Permit?
Yes. Citizens of the Federated States of Micronesia need a permit to travel to Madagascar. In most cases, the application can be completed online before departure. Before you apply, check Madagascar visa eligibility to make sure you choose the right option.
Entry Rules
Most permits are issued for one entry only. This means the dates on your approval should match the trip you plan to take.
How it works
- The permit usually allows one entry into Madagascar.
- If you leave the country, you usually need a new permit to come back.
- You must stay within the approved dates.
What to carry
- Carry a printed copy of the approved permit with your passport.
- Check the name, dates, and passport number before you travel.
- Follow the conditions written on the approved permit.
Documents You Need
Before you apply, make sure these documents are ready:
- Your Micronesian passport with at least six months of validity from the date you arrive.
- A clear scan of the passport information page.
- A recent colour photo with a plain background.
- Files that are clear and easy to read.
- You can find more details on the Madagascar visa requirements page.
Processing Time
You can choose a review speed based on when you plan to travel. Faster options usually cost more.
- Normal: for travellers who apply well before departure.
- Urgent: for travellers who need a quicker response.
- Super Fast: for very urgent or last-minute trips.
Stay Length
Micronesian travellers can usually choose the stay length that suits their trip. The common options are 15, 30, or 60 days.
| Stay Length | Suitable For | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 15 days | Short visits | Short visits or transit |
| 30 days | Standard stays | Standard tourism |
| 60 days | Longer visits | Extended tourism |
Choose the right stay length because it affects both the fee and how long you can stay in Madagascar.
