Frequently asked questions
Yes. Under the Compact of Free Association between Palau and the United States, Palauan citizens may enter, reside, work and study in the US indefinitely without a visa, without employer sponsorship and without a green card queue. Three countries hold such compacts: Palau, the Marshall Islands and Micronesia.
No. Palau's constitution restricts citizenship largely to descent, and no ordinary naturalisation route exists for foreigners. This is a stopping point. If anyone offers 'Palauan citizenship for US access', stop and check very carefully.
No. It is a residence and work right, not US citizenship. Holders do not automatically have federal voting rights or certain other entitlements, and benefit access rules have changed over time. The compacts are also renegotiated on a cycle, so terms can be adjusted.
No. Land ownership is constitutionally reserved to Palauan citizens. The available form is long-term leasehold, and in practice many land questions involve the traditional clan system rather than administrative registration alone. Anyone offered a property project should insist on clarity about the right, its term, and who the actual lessor is.
The US dollar, so there is no exchange risk for those earning in US dollars — the same feature as Timor-Leste, the Marshall Islands and Micronesia.
No. Palauan and English are both official, and English is widely used in education, administration and business.
Palau established a marine sanctuary covering most of its exclusive economic zone, banning commercial fishing across a vast area — one of the world's largest such commitments proportionally. It was also the first country to ban certain sunscreens harmful to coral.
Local facilities are limited for a very small country. For specialist cases the standard approach is flying to the Philippines, Taiwan or Guam. International health insurance with medical evacuation is effectively mandatory.
