Do Australian passport holders need a visa for Palau?
Covers 11 passports and 80 destinations. Rules older than 30 days are flagged for re-check.
How this tool works
We read the official notice for each pair and record the date. Nothing here is generated; a pair with no written check is not shown.
How we checkNo visa needed. Australian passport holders are issued a 30-day tourist stay on arrival in Palau.
Palau's immigration page says a tourist visa may be issued on arrival, is valid for 30 days and can be extended twice by 30 days, with a USD 50 renewal fee, and only Bangladesh and Myanmar nationals must apply beforehand. The Palau Visitors Authority says the maximum is 90 days in total. Smartraveller could not be read, so this row relies on Palau's own pages.
