Rules in force · 6Bags go from the car to the hotel door
- Guam ↗US entry rules apply: visitors need a US visa, ESTA under the US Visa Waiver Program, or eligibility for the Guam–CNMI Visa Waiver Program. Check US Customs and Border Protection for your passport; the Guam–CNMI waiver does not allow onward travel to the rest of the US.
- Guam ↗Guam is outside the US customs territory: complete the Guam customs declaration on arrival and declare food, plants and animal products.
- Guam ↗Drive on the right, as in the mainland US; a valid foreign licence is accepted for short visits.
- Tumon and Hagåtña ↗Buses are infrequent and a hire car or a tour is the practical way to the south; book it for the dry months if you can.
- Tumon ↗Bags go from the car to the hotel door; the strip is flat but hot and the crossings are far apart.
- Tumon ↗Plan the south and Hagåtña as one hire-car day: the strip has taxis but the sights beyond it do not.
