Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in the Marshall Islands. Airlines check this at check-in, and immigration officers at Amata Kabua International Airport will verify it on arrival. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Marshall Islands | Immigration at Majuro will ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket before they stamp you in. Budget airlines flying into the Marshall Islands are strict about this — have your booking confirmation ready on your phone or printed. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a hotel reservation or a letter from your host in the Marshall Islands ready. 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 a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough money for your trip. Officers rarely ask for it, but if they do, they expect to see a reasonable daily amount — around $100 USD per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
