Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire period you plan to stay in the Marshall Islands. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Marshall Islands immigration, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Amata Kabua International Airport will ask for proof of a return or onward ticket before granting entry. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they check this at the counter. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to have ready | While not always requested, having a hotel booking or a letter of invitation from a host in the Marshall Islands can speed up the immigration process. If you are staying with family, carry their contact details and address. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to have ready | Officers may ask to see evidence of sufficient funds for your stay. Carry a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least $500 USD for shorter visits — this covers basic expenses and any unexpected costs. | Recommended |
Bring USD cash — no ATMs at the airport
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in US dollars cash. There are no ATMs at Amata Kabua International Airport, and cards are not accepted for the visa fee. Bring at least $100 in small bills to cover the fee and any immediate expenses.
Medical facilities are extremely limited
The Marshall Islands has very basic medical infrastructure. For serious emergencies, you may need to be evacuated to Hawaii or Guam — costing $50,000 or more. Travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage is strongly recommended.
