Entry requirements

RequirementDetailsStatus
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 some airlines may enforce a 6-month validity rule — check with your carrier before flying.Required
Return or onward ticket
Proof of departure from the Marshall Islands
Immigration officers at Amata Kabua International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight ready — they will check it before letting you through.Recommended
Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or invitation letter
Have a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in the Marshall Islands. Immigration may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel.Recommended
Proof of funds
Sufficient money for your stay
Carry enough cash or a credit card to cover your expenses. There is no fixed minimum amount, but having at least $100–$200 USD per day is a safe benchmark. Immigration rarely checks this, but it helps if asked.Recommended
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter the Marshall Islands. Airlines check this before you board, so double-check your passport's expiry date before booking.
No visa, no eVisa — just show up

What happens at the border

1
Arrival at Amata Kabua International Airport (MAJ)
After landing in Majuro, follow signs to the immigration hall. Join the queue for foreign visitors. Have your passport, return ticket (printed or on phone), and accommodation booking ready. The officer will stamp you in for up to 90 days. The process usually takes 5–10 minutes if your documents are in order.
2
Prepare documents before the queue
While waiting in line, pull up your return ticket and hotel confirmation on your phone or have printed copies handy. This speeds things up and avoids fumbling at the counter.
3
Exit immigration and collect luggage
After the stamp, proceed to baggage claim. Customs checks are usually light for tourists. Then exit into the arrivals hall — taxis and hotel shuttles are available outside.
