Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Croatian passport needs to be valid for the entire time you're in the Marshall Islands. Airlines check this at check-in, and immigration officers in Majuro will deny boarding if your passport expires before you leave. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Marshall Islands | Immigration at Amata Kabua International Airport asks for a confirmed onward ticket before they let you through. Without one, you'll be sent back to the check-in counter to buy a ticket — United Airlines is the only carrier flying out, so expect a last-minute fare around $800–$1,200. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in the Marshall Islands. Immigration officers occasionally ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Carry at least $200–$300 in cash or have a credit card statement ready. The Marshall Islands uses the US dollar, and ATMs are scarce outside Majuro — most small shops and taxis only take cash. | Recommended |
No visa needed, but plan ahead
You don't need a visa, but immigration can still deny entry if you don't have a return ticket or your passport is too close to expiry. Double-check your documents before you fly.
Medical care is limited
The Marshall Islands has basic medical facilities. For serious issues, you'd need to be evacuated to Hawaii or Guam — which is expensive. Travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage is strongly recommended.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the airport
You'll land at Amata Kabua International Airport (MAJ) in Majuro. After deplaning, follow signs to the immigration hall. It's a small airport, so queues are usually short.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport and completed arrival card (given on the plane). The officer will check your passport validity and may ask for your return ticket. Answer any questions clearly.
3
Get your entry stamp
If everything's in order, the officer stamps your passport with a visa-free entry valid for up to 90 days. No fee is charged. Keep the stamp visible — you'll need it when you leave.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, head to baggage claim, then customs. Declare any restricted items. Once cleared, you're free to enter the Marshall Islands.
