U.S. Outlying Islands visa

No visa portal is confirmed for this territorial code.

On access to Midway Atoll, the page of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument states that access for general visiting purposes was previously permitted to the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, but that historical and ecotourism visits are currently not offered, owing to recent reductions in the refuge's staffing and operational capacity; the managing federal service states that it is studying future options if resources allow. The “Rules & Policies” page of the same refuge specifies that, since November 2012, Henderson Field airfield cannot accommodate transient aircraft and that prior authorisations for this service are not accepted.

On authorisations: the monument's permitting page states that the programme is administered jointly by four co-managing entities (the oceanic and atmospheric agency, the federal fish and wildlife service, the State of Hawaii and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs). Activities are classified there in three categories — prohibited, exempt from permit, or regulated — with regulated activities having to go through the joint permit procedure. The filing deadlines read are 1 February for activities from June to August, 1 May for those from September to December and 1 September for those from January to May; applications filed after these dates are not guaranteed to be processed in time. The waters of the State of Hawaii, from 0 to 3 nautical miles, additionally require the agreement of the state board of land and natural resources.

These rules concern access to protected natural areas and are not visa rules. They cover only Midway Atoll and its marine environment, whereas this territorial code groups together several islands and atolls. For any visa question, contact the diplomatic or consular representation of the United States competent for your country of residence.
