Recreational vs Commercial drone use in Guam
✅ Guam is a US territory and follows the same drone's regulations of the United States of America which you can find here.
Can I travel to Guam with my drone?
✅ Currently, there doesn't seem to be any restrictions on bringing drones within Guam as long as your import is considered as legitimate (generally one drone per person).
🚨 Be aware of the airline you purchase to travel as some main ones will only accept your drone on-board if its batteries are detached & placed in a firecase during travel time. Most airlines will have a battery voltage limit based on the recommendation of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). You can find more info about a specific airline here.
💡 Smart! Get your drone batteries' firecase today and make sure you're complying with aviation safety rules.
Where can I fly my drone in Guam?
✅ We did not find an official fly zone map for drones in Guam "If you have more information about this, please let us know in the Guam Drone Discussion Group". Thankfully, app.airmap.io has listed all flight zones in a convenient way based on your flight intentions organised with a colour scheme.

💡 Smart! Pack some spare drone batteries, you never know how close is the next power plug overseas. Also make sure you have a travel adaptor for Guam.
What do I risk for flying a drone illegally in Guam?
The amount & scope of the fine will depend on the nature & severity of your infraction. The judges will also evaluate if you intentionally committed the infraction and/or if you had any commercial purposes to do such.
