Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa required Apply for a visa before travel | Jordan passport holders need a visa to enter the Marshall Islands. Apply through the Marshall Islands Embassy in the US — the official portal is rmiembassyus.org. Processing times vary, so apply at least 4 weeks before departure.Apply for visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from the Marshall Islands. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Amata Kabua International Airport will ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket before they stamp you in. Have a printed copy or a screenshot of your itinerary ready — showing a flight out of the Marshall Islands within your allowed stay. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to have ready | While not always checked, having a hotel booking or a letter of invitation from a host in the Marshall Islands speeds up the immigration process. If you are staying with family, get a signed invitation letter with their address and phone number. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to have ready | Immigration may ask how you plan to support yourself during your stay. Carry a bank statement showing at least $500 USD, or a credit card with a sufficient limit. Cash is not commonly used for this — a printed statement works best. | Recommended |

Frequently asked questions
No. There is no visa-on-arrival for Jordanian passport holders. You must obtain a visa from an embassy or consulate before you travel.
The main embassy is in Washington, D.C. (2334 S Street NW, Washington, DC 20008). There is also a consulate in New York. You can apply by mail or in person. Processing takes 2–4 weeks.
Visa fees vary — check with the embassy. Expect around $50–$100 for a single-entry tourist visa. Fees are subject to change.
Tourist visas are typically issued for 30 days. Extensions are possible but must be arranged with the Marshall Islands Immigration Office in Majuro before your visa expires.
Only if you are arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Jordan is not a yellow fever country, so you likely won't need it. But check the latest requirements before you go.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You may be fined, detained, or banned from re-entering. If you need more time, visit the Immigration Office in Majuro before your visa expires.
No. Tourist visas do not permit any form of employment. You would need a work permit sponsored by an employer in the Marshall Islands.
