Guam is an island in the western South Pacific Ocean, about three-quarters of the way from Hawaii to the Philippines. It is the largest and southernmost island in the Mariana Islands archipelago. Guam is a territory of the United States of America. It is considered to occupy a militarily strategic location, south of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
A trip to Guam is like visiting the four exotic corners of the globe. Many people consider Guam one of the most interesting places in Micronesia. In addition to the indigenous Chamorros and 'stateside' Americans, Guam boasts large populations of Filipinos, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and Micronesian Islanders, as well as a few Vietnamese, Indians, and Europeans. Furthermore there are some interesting historical landmarks to explore. The graceful remains of Spanish buildings, the Plaza De Espana, and stone bridges may be seen in Agana, which is Guam's capital.
The entry requirements for Guam are largely the same as those for the United States, and nationals of all countries not needing a visa to enter the United States do not need a visa to enter Guam. In addition, nationals of Indonesia, Malaysia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, South Korea, Solomon Islands, Taiwan, Vanuatu, Samoa, as well as British National (Overseas) passport holders do not need a visa to enter Guam for stays of up to 15 days. All others must apply for a US visa at any US embassy.
