How this access rule is documented

  1. Current official routeVisa-free

    Guam and CNMI: eligible Freely Associated State citizen Compact no-visa route

    Current U.S. State Department Compact guidance establishes visa-free U.S. entry for eligible FSM, Marshall Islands and Palau citizens. The ordinary-passport visitor route for Guam and CNMI is normalized as visa_free.

    • This policy is for citizens eligible under the respective Compact, travelling on a valid national ordinary passport; CBP inspection, I-94 documentation, admissibility and the territorial scope remain material.
    • FSM alien spouses or children do not share the privilege. RMI eligibility varies with citizenship/acquisition, relationship and purpose; adoption and citizenship/passports acquired through investment/passport-sale programs are excluded. Palau’s privilege generally does not extend to alien spouses/children and official-passport official travel can require a visa.
    • These Compact residence, study and employment privileges do not make a third-country holder, a resident/document route, a special passport or a parole/crew/transit case passport-wide visitor access.
  2. Current official routeVisa-free

    Guam and CNMI: Canadian, Compact and U.S. ordinary passports

    Federal law explicitly gives Canadian citizens and eligible FSM/RMI/Palau Compact citizens no-visa treatment; a U.S. passport holder is not an alien.

    • For Canada, the exemption is for Canadian citizens, not Canadian permanent residents; E, K, S and V classifications are excluded.
    • For FM, MH and PW, this is an eligible Compact-citizen route, not one for every country-issued document. RMI citizenship/acquisition, passport-sale and adoption exclusions; FSM spouse/child exclusions; and Palau official-passport conditions remain material.
    • Inspection, admissibility, work, residence, crew, transit, official/special documents and final admission remain outside these visitor baseline policies.
