- We advise you to exercise normal safety precautions in Palau.
- Exercise common sense and look out for suspicious behaviour, as you would in Australia.
- Australia does not have an Embassy or Consulate in Palau. The Australian Embassy in the Federated States of Micronesia provides consular assistance to Australians in Palau.
- Be a smart traveller. Before heading overseas:
- organise comprehensive travel insurance and check what circumstances and activities are not covered by your policy
- register your travel and contact details, so we can contact you in an emergency
- subscribe to this travel advice to receive free email updates each time it's reissued.
Entry and exit
Visa and other entry and exit conditions (such as currency, customs and quarantine regulations) change regularly. Contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Palau for the most up-to-date information.
Palau does not have an Embassy or Consulate in Australia. For up-to-date visa information, Australians should contact the:
Bureau of Foreign Affairs
PO Box 100
Ngerulmud, PW 96940
Telephone: +680 767 2490
Fax: +680 767 3680 / 8092
E-mail: email@example.com
A departure tax of US$35 per person is payable in cash at the airport on departure from Palau.
If you are travelling to Palau through the United States of America (USA), or if you are transiting in Guam or other USA points of entry, you are required to meet USA entry/transit requirements. Make sure you check with your nearest US Embassy or Consulate your visa requirements well in advance of your travel. You should also read our travel advice for the United States of America.
Make sure your passport has at least six months' validity from your planned date of return to Australia. You should carry copies of a recent passport photo with you in case you need a replacement passport while overseas.
Safety and security
Terrorism is a threat throughout the world. You can find more information about this threat in our General Advice to Australian Travellers.
The crime rate in Palau is low, although, there is occasional petty crime.
Money and valuables
Before you go, organise a variety of ways to access your money overseas, such as credit cards, travellers' cheques, cash, debit cards or cash cards. Australian currency and travellers' cheques are not accepted in many countries. Consult with your bank to find out which is the most appropriate currency to carry and whether your ATM card will work overseas. US dollars are the official currency of Palau.
Make two photocopies of valuables such as your passport, tickets, visas and travellers' cheques. Keep one copy with you in a separate place to the original and leave another copy with someone at home.
While travelling, don't carry too much cash and remember that expensive watches, jewellery and cameras may be tempting targets for thieves.
As a sensible precaution against luggage tampering, including theft, lock your luggage. Information on luggage safety is available from Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
Your passport is a valuable document that is attractive to criminals who may try to use your identity to commit crimes. It should always be kept in a safe place. You are required by Australian law to report a lost or stolen passport. If your passport is lost or stolen overseas, report it online or contact the nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate as soon as possible.
You are required to pay an additional fee to have a lost or stolen passport replaced. In some cases, the Government may also restrict the length of validity or type of replacement passports.
Local travel
The safety standards you might expect of tour operators are not always met, especially for adventure sports such as diving and yachting. Sufficient life jackets and adequate safety equipment may not be provided. Recommended maintenance standards and safety precautions may not be observed. Check operators' credentials and safety equipment beforehand and ensure your travel insurance policy covers your planned activities.
There is still unexploded ordnance in Palau left over from World War II, particularly in Peleliu and Angaur. Particular care should be taken when diving or exploring caves.
There are saltwater crocodiles in parts of Palau and no warning signs to indicate their presence. Check with local authorities before considering water activities in mangrove areas.
Airline safety
Please refer to our travel bulletin for information about Aviation Safety and Security.
When you are in Palau, be aware that local laws and penalties, including ones that appear harsh by Australian standards, do apply to you. If you are arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you but we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail.
Information on what Australian consular officers can and cannot do to help Australians in trouble overseas is available from the Consular Services Charter.
Penalties for drug offences are strict. Possession of any amount of illegal 'hard drugs' (such as heroin and cocaine) carries a mandatory sentence of 25 years imprisonment.
Drinking in public places is not allowed. The legal drinking age is 21.
It is illegal to disturb or take historical items (including from sunken vessels).
Some Australian criminal laws, such as those relating to money, laundering, bribery of foreign public officials, terrorism, child pornography, and child sex tourism, apply to Australian overseas. Australians who commit these offences while overseas may be prosecuted in Australia.
Australian authorities are committed to combating sexual exploitation of children by Australians overseas. Australians may be prosecuted at home under Australian child sex tourism and child pornography laws. These laws provide severe penalties of up to 25 years' imprisonment for Australians who engage in child sexual exploitation while outside of Australia.
Local customs
There are conservative standards of dress and behaviour in Palau and you should take care not to offend.
We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Divers visiting Palau should have travel and health insurance that includes coverage for deep sea diving, hyperbaric chamber and evacuation costs. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. The Australian Government will not pay for a traveller's medical expenses overseas or medical evacuation costs.
Your doctor or travel clinic is the best source of information about preventive measures, immunisations (including booster doses of childhood vaccinations) and disease outbreaks overseas. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides information for travellers and our 'Travelling Well' brochure also provides useful tips for travelling with medicines and staying healthy while overseas.
Hospital and medical facilities are limited throughout Palau and evacuation may be required in cases of serious illness or accident. Initial medivac would normally be to Guam, which is an expensive destination. If medical travel to Australia is required, the extremely limited flights out of Palau and Guam could cause difficulties. Costs for a medical evacuation could be considerable (in the tens of thousands of dollars).
Many of the popular dive sites are located away from the capital, Koror. The hospital in Koror has one hyperbaric chamber.
Dengue fever outbreaks can occur in Palau. We recommend you monitor local media for health announcements and take precautions against being bitten by mosquitoes, including using insect repellent at all times, wearing long, loose-fitting, light coloured clothing and ensuring your accommodation is mosquito proof. For further information see the WHO factsheet on dengue fever.
The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) has confirmed cases of avian influenza in birds in a number of countries throughout the world. For a list of these countries, visit the OIE website. For information on our advice to Australians on how to reduce the risk of infection and on Australian Government precautions see our travel bulletin on avian influenza.
Where to get help
Australia does not have an Embassy or Consulate in Palau. You can obtain consular assistance from the nearest Australian Embassy which is in Micronesia:
Australian Embassy, Pohnpei
H & E Building
Kolonia, Pohnpei
PO Box S
Telephone: (691) 320 5448
Facsimile: (691) 320 5449
E-mail: email@example.com
Website: http://www.fsm.embassy.gov.au.
If you are travelling to Palau, whatever the reason and however long you'll be there, we encourage you to register with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. You can register online or in person at any Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate. The information you provide will help us to contact you in an emergency - whether it is a natural disaster, civil disturbance or a family issue.
In a consular emergency if you are unable to contact the Embassy you can contact the 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 or 1300 555 135 within Australia.
In Australia, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Canberra may be contacted on (02) 6261 3305.
Additional information
Natural disasters, severe weather and climate
Palau is outside the typhoon belt but is periodically affected by tropical storms which may disrupt services, including in December 2012 with Tropical Cyclone Bopha. Typhoon and storm information for the Western Pacific Ocean region is available from the USA Navy Joint Typhoon Warning Center, the USA National Weather Service Forecast Office or Humanitarian Early Warning Service.
All oceanic regions of the world can experience tsunamis, but in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, there is a more frequent occurrence of large, destructive tsunamis because of the many large earthquakes along major tectonic plate boundaries and ocean trenches. See the Tsunami Awareness brochure.
If a natural disaster occurs, follow the advice of local authorities.
Australians are advised to respect wildlife laws and to maintain a safe and legal distance when observing wildlife, including marine animals and birds. You should only use reputable and professional guides or tour operators and closely follow park regulations and wardens' advice.
For parents
For general information and tips on travelling with children see our Travelling with Children brochure.
If you are planning on placing your children in schools or childcare facilities overseas we encourage you to research the standards of security, care and staff training within those establishments. You should exercise the same precautions you would take before placing children into schools or childcare facilities in Australia.
Ideas on how to select childcare providers are available from the smartraveller Children's Issues page, Child Wise and the National Childcare Accreditation Council.

Citizen complaint of the day: BTD truck is just ducky
By adamg - 4/5/13 - 8:16 amAn irate citizen complains about this BTD vehicle on Beacon Street in the Back Bay:
BTD has the time to hassle an elderly woman double parked with no traffic trying to get stuff out of a car as she is dropped off, yet has their windshield almost totally obscured with figurines and plush toys!
Good thing it's not hurricane season
By adamg - 4/3/13 - 11:25 am
Jed Hresko photographed the remains of the wrapping on that new Jackson Square building this morning - the second time in the past few months it's proven no match for local winds.
Really jacked up in Roslindale
By adamg - 4/3/13 - 10:59 am
An old house at Metropolitan Avenue and Poplar Street in Roslindale sat on a lot large enough for construction of a new house (that rarest of rare things in Roslindale). With the new house nearing completion, workers last week jacked up the old house, possibly to reposition it on the lot - or, who knows, possibly just for a little spring cleaning.
It's right up Metropolitan from the Fox house, which had a third of it carved off and turned into a new house after William Fox lost the house during the Depression and stopped taking the train up from New York for the fresh Roslindale air in the summer (back when there was a train stop right down the street).
No books for you today
By adamg - 4/2/13 - 4:58 pmTristan reports a water-main break shut the main BPL library in Copley Square today.
Beef on Boylston
By adamg - 4/2/13 - 8:03 amLeslie Jones captured wrestler Yukon Eric cooling off on July 30, 1950 during a stay at the Hotel Touraine, at Boylston and Tremont streets (the building still stands, it's directly across Boylston from the Masonic building).
During the same visit, a promoter let Brockton's own Rocky Marciano and wrestler Don Eagle get a peek at his pecs:
Avant et apres le deluge
By adamg - 4/1/13 - 4:21 pmJennifer Walsh captured the rainbow after one rain shower this afternoon and just before another one.
Mumbles the Turkey could be wearing stripes soon
By adamg - 4/1/13 - 2:56 pmAround 2:45 p.m., police cornered a turkey, presumably Mumbles, at Beach and Harrison in Chinatown. No immediate word on her fate, but some officers pondered whether stuffing and mashed potatoes would be involved.
Mumbles the Turkey continues her grand tour of downtown
By adamg - 4/1/13 - 8:34 amJocelyn spotted Mumbles the Turkey at State and Congress this morning, wondered which downtown tourist attraction she is headed for today - Faneuil Hall or the Freedom Trail?
The art of the coverup
By adamg - 3/31/13 - 8:03 pmGreg Cook reports on the Great Burlesque Exposition at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge last night:
Daytime workshops this weekend address hand-sewing, "tantalizing shimmies," contracts, "tassel twirling," marketing, obscenity law, body image, and "dancing in shoes you shouldn't be walking in." Vendors sell corsets, lingerie, vintage clothing, leather, wigs and jewelry.
The evenings are devoted to burlesque shows, like the opening night's "The Rhinestone Revue," featuring a lineup of prominent dancers from across the country and winning performers from previous years' Boston burlesque expos. The audience for the first night is more women than men. There's a party atmosphere.
Compare to this dancer, from back in the day when Boston still had actual burlesque houses:

Spring comes to the South End
By adamg - 3/30/13 - 4:03 pmMichael Ratty took in a ballgame at Peters Park today.
Turkey with an ear for music
By adamg - 3/29/13 - 9:52 amNo clue if this is the downtown turkey, or just some fly-in from Brookline (although it doesn't seem particularly mean), but here's a turkey at the New England Conservatory off Huntington Avenue in the Fenway on Tuesday (note to conservatory students: flip your phone 90 degrees when taking videos of fast-moving fowl).
Nobody puts Bambi in the corner

If only it were a duck
By adamg - 3/28/13 - 10:38 pmJpilz spotted the downtown turkey setting up housekeeping on a ledge at Rowes Wharf this evening. If only it were a duck, it could get a room and put it on its bill.
Speaking of the turkey, there's a move to name the turkey. Given the bird appeared just as the mayor was announcing his departure, how about Tom?
Turkey continues to stick neck out in downtown Boston.
As God is my witness, I though turkeys could fly!
Fat plane lands at Hanscom
By adamg - 3/27/13 - 8:16 pmRedsox223 watched a rare Super Guppy come in for a landing at Hanscom yesterday.

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!
By adamg - 3/27/13 - 1:53 pmTurns out Mr. Carlson was right. Although it's a bit hard to tell in Dave's photo, that's a live turkey on a fifth-floor ledge at 133 Federal St. in the Financial District this morning.
UPDATE: A turkey was spotted today on Boylston Street near Tremont (and here it is trying to get into City Place - if only it had opposable thumbs). Another was seen in Chinatown. Have urban turkeys come home to roost or do we just have one visiting bird taking in the town?
No respect for elders on the Green Line tonight
By adamg - 3/26/13 - 8:54 pm
A roving UHub photographer reports he watched young dude sitting on a D trolley between Kenmore and Hynes tonight as an old guy with a cane stood and struggled to stay upright:
Unbelievable. Man was clearly having trouble maintaining his balance while the trolley moved. The man even said: "I really need to sit down."
Mystery marching boys
By adamg - 3/25/13 - 10:33 amThe folks at the Boston City Archives wonder if you can figure out who these boys are, what they were doing and when they were doing it. See it larger.
Spring flood in Cambridge
By adamg - 3/23/13 - 6:48 pmAaron Cohen and Brian D'Amico report a water-main break is causing some major flooding on Inman Street at Broadway, so best to avoid the area.
The Boston Fire Department has always rewarded dogged determination
By adamg - 3/22/13 - 11:18 amThe Boston City Archives posted this photo of BFD fire dogs lining up for some serious chow back in the 1940s.
Citizen complaint of the day: Church disobeys one of the Ten Commandments of Urban Life
By adamg - 3/22/13 - 9:16 amA fed-up citizen reports from the South End:
Unshoveled sidewalk at 15 Union Park Street. St. John the Baptist Church, once again ignoring one of the ten commandments of urban life..."Thou Shalt Shovel Thy Sidewalk".
If only there were some way the city could help.
Ambulance called for ambulance
By adamg - 3/21/13 - 1:39 pmJohn Keith and Katie Kelly report a Boston ambulance and another vehicle collided around 1:15 p.m., sending the ambulance hurtling into the shrubbery in front of an apartment building. Kennedy reports both vehicles were pretty banged up, but nobody seemed injured.
Anybody seen a B-Line trolley?
By adamg - 3/20/13 - 9:14 amAt 8:54 a.m., Rebecca, who took this photo, reported she'd been standing at the Sutherland Road Green Line stop for more than 20 minutes, and that she was a mere newcomer there - she could still feel her feet.
At the very same time, Katherine Delaney posted a photo showing things were almost as bad on the Red Line - even more crowded, but at least a train was running.
This comes the day after T General Manager Beverly Scott said she's giving serious consideration to fare hikes of up to 33% and delaying needed maintenance starting July 1.
It only looks this bad this morning
By adamg - 3/20/13 - 7:38 amLeslie Jones took lots of photos of Boston things covered in ice, such as firetrucks, but especially fishing boats, such as this trawler in 1938.

Evolution and Immunity: Same Story?
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
Scientists Tell Their Stories: George Murphy
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Series: Southern Baptist Voices: Evolution and Death
This exchange brings together related essays on death in light of evolution and Scripture from Southern Baptist theologian Dr. John Laing. Laing argues that evolutionary theory requires death to play a central role in the creation of new life, but sees Scripture depicting death only "as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil." A BioLogos response is given by Dr. Jeff Schloss.
Series: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
Understanding Evolution: Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence, Part 1
In science, we don't really know the true way things actually work. What we have are theories—broad explanatory frameworks supported by experimentation, which we can use to make testable predictions about the natural world.
Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Possibilities and Second Chances
In today's video, Dr. Rick Colling states that evolution is not merely the imposition of death and destruction and survival of the fittest. Rather, it is about second chances.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 2
Despite their somewhat mysterious nature, transposon sequences make up a staggering 45% or more of our genome. They are the perfect parasites: using their host to provide resources, they maintain a "lifestyle" so simple that replication is essentially their only feature.
Series: Understanding Evolution
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
The Crutch
Providing the crutch for non-believers to lean on is a well-intentioned strategic error that has no benefit and likely does much harm. However, I am even more concerned about something else related to our construction of these crutches.
Series: Reviewing "Why Evolution is True"
In this three part series, Robert C. Bishop provides a helpful review for Evangelicals of the book Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne. He first debunks many outdated ideas and myths about the theory of evolution and its implications. He then goes on to critique Coyne's conclusions about God as a "bad designer." He further addresses how Christianity and science overlap as well as how to have a meaningful discussion between two individuals with radically different views.
Series: The Cambrian "Explosion", Transitional Forms, and the Tree of Life
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
A Pastor's Perspective on Death and Evolution
If death did not exist before Adam and Eve, how could God have used evolution to create man? And what about predators and natural catastrophes such as the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?
Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Does the Slippery Slope Always Go to the Left?
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright responds to a question from a BioLogos Forum reader who notes that in the world of evangelical Christianity there seems to be a great suspicion about becoming too politically liberal, but few worries about becoming too conservative.
The Danger of Preaching on Genesis

The Benefit of Doubt
But like a church bell on a clear winter night, it is in the crisp darkness of doubt that God's voice carries farther and more clearly.

Series: Science and the Evangelical Mission in America
In this three part series, Pastor Ken Wilson of Vineyard Church in Ann Arbor, Michigan, exhorts his fellow evangelical believers to reexamine their uncomfortable feelings toward modern science. He calls churches to confront the brutal facts. By maintaining a defensive position toward science, he says, evangelicals are creating a stumbling block to some people who would otherwise embrace the Bible. He reflects on the numerous testimonies from people in his own congregation who have drawn near to Christ because of his open perspectives on science and faith.
