Opinion on Palau is divided, though not dramatically: ratings run from level 1 to level 2. Two of the nine take the stricter view, and the remaining seven see no cause for it. A one-level split of this kind usually reflects differing thresholds between governments rather than a dispute about the facts.
Currency varies between sources. Ireland's is the oldest assessment of Palau on file, last revised in August 2025, while the rest have been reviewed more recently.
Your own government's rating is the one your insurer and embassy will act on, so read that source first — the one level of daylight between the strictest and most relaxed assessments here is context, not a substitute for it.
