Lebanese passport holders can get a visa on arrival in the Marshall Islands. You don't need to apply in advance — just show up at the airport in Majuro with the right documents and pay the fee. As of 2026, this is the standard entry method for Lebanese travellers.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire period you plan to stay in the Marshall Islands. Airlines check this before boarding. No minimum validity beyond your stay is required by Marshall Islands immigration. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers ask for proof of onward travel at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready. Airlines also check this before you board. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to have ready | Officers may ask where you are staying. Have a hotel booking or a letter of invitation from a host ready. A printed copy works best. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to have ready | Carry evidence of sufficient funds for your stay, such as bank statements or a credit card. Immigration may ask to see it, though enforcement varies. | Recommended |
Cash is king
The Marshall Islands uses US dollars, and most places — including the visa-on-arrival counter — prefer cash. ATMs are limited on Majuro and almost non-existent on outer islands. Bring enough USD for your entire stay.
Medical facilities are basic
The main hospital in Majuro can handle routine issues, but serious medical emergencies require evacuation to Hawaii or Guam. Travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage is strongly recommended.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Amata Kabua International Airport (MAJ)
After landing in Majuro, follow signs to the immigration hall. There's usually only one queue for all arriving passengers.
2
Present your documents at the visa-on-arrival counter
Hand over your passport, return ticket (printed or on your phone), and accommodation confirmation. The officer will process your visa on the spot.
3
Pay the visa fee
The visa-on-arrival fee is typically around $50 USD (cash only, exact change preferred). Have it ready in US dollars.
4
Receive your entry stamp
Once approved, the officer stamps your passport with the visa and entry date. Check the stamp says the correct duration before leaving the counter.
5
Collect your luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, grab your bags from the carousel and walk through customs. Declare any food, plants, or animal products.
