Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Belgian passport needs to be valid for the entire time you're in the Marshall Islands. No 6-month validity rule applies here — just cover your stay. Airlines may still check for at least 6 months, so verify with your carrier before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Marshall Islands | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight out of the Marshall Islands ready. Without one, you may be denied boarding or entry. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a confirmed hotel reservation or a letter from your host in the Marshall Islands. While not always checked, having it ready avoids delays at immigration. Bookings on platforms like Booking.com or Agoda work fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have access to at least $100–$200 USD per day of your stay, either in cash, bank statements, or a credit card. Immigration may ask for proof of sufficient funds, especially if you're staying longer than a few weeks. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the day you land in the Marshall Islands, not your departure date. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before you go.
No visa extensions available
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. If you overstay, you may face fines or be barred from re-entry. Plan your trip carefully.
