Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | You get a visa on arrival at Marshall Islands airports. Have a printed copy of your hotel booking and return ticket ready — the immigration officer may ask to see both. The visa costs $50 USD in cash (exact change preferred). | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your departure date from the Marshall Islands. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
