Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in the Marshall Islands. Airlines at departure may ask to see at least 6 months of validity remaining, but Marshall Islands immigration only requires validity for your stay. | Required |

| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Majuro and Kwajalein airports check for a return or onward ticket before letting you through. Budget airlines flying into the Marshall Islands also enforce this at check-in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to have ready | Officers may ask where you're staying. Have a hotel booking or a letter of invitation from a host ready. If you're staying with family, a simple written invitation with their address works. | Recommended |
