Visa on arrival in Palau

Advance visas are required for citizens of Bangladesh and Myanmar.

Therefore, citizens of these two countries should contact the Palau diplomatic mission in their country or other representative bodies or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Unless your dog or cat enters Palau from a not OIE (World Organization for Animal Health) recognized rabies-free country, your pet will be quarantined upon entry to Palau.
