Visa on arrival. British passport holders can visit Palau for up to 30 days without a pre-arranged visa.

Border officials issue a 30-day tourist visa on arrival, and you may need to show proof of onward or return travel. GOV.UK asks for a passport valid at least 6 months after you arrive with at least 2 blank pages. Complete the Palau entry form within 72 hours of arrival and sign the Palau Pledge at the border.
