Palau visa for Japanese citizens

Embarking on your journey from Japan to Palau as a passport holder is made convenient with a visa on arrival, allowing a generous 30-day stay to explore this Pacific archipelago. While no visa fee is typically charged for short tourist visits, it's wise to confirm any potential entry stamp costs upon arrival, as these can fluctuate. Given the long flight times, often involving layovers in Guam or Manila, consider the time difference, which can be as much as a 19-hour jump depending on the season, and ensure you've exchanged some Japanese Yen for US Dollars, the official currency of Palau, before you depart.
