United States, Palau, and Federated States of Micronesia citizens: statutory visa exemption
The Immigration Act expressly exempts citizens of the United States, Palau, and the Federated States of Micronesia from the requirement to hold a visa. This ordinary-passport catalog normalization is visa_free, not an arrival-issued visa.
- The Act's exemption applies to citizens, while ordinary passports are the catalog scope. It does not establish treatment for diplomatic, contractor, crew, work, residence, or other special routes.
- The Act states that exempt persons remain subject to immigration clearance and may be refused an entry permit on the statutory eligibility grounds.
