Travelers need a travel authorization to visit Northern Mariana Islands for Business or Tourism for a maximum of 14 days. The CNMI Economic Vitality & Security Travel Authorization Program (EVS-TAP) is an online application that determines the eligibility of visitors to enter Northern Mariana Islands. Once the application is approved, travelers receive their CNMI EVS-TAP confirmation electronically. Travelers must have a round?trip ticket with a confirmed return date within 14 days. Otherwise, a paper or embassy visa is the only type of visa available to these travelers. The visa is typically a stamp or sticker added to the passport. Travelers must obtain this visa from a local embassy, consulate or visa center before traveling.
