Peruvian passport holders can get a visa on arrival in the Marshall Islands. You don't need to apply before you travel — just show up with the right documents and pay the fee at the airport. As of 2026, the process is straightforward but requires a few specific items ready before you land.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into the Marshall Islands. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Visa on arrival Obtain at the airport upon arrival | You get a visa on arrival at Marshall Islands International Airport (MAJ) in Majuro. Have your passport, return ticket, and $50 USD in cash ready — the officer issues it at the counter before immigration. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Majuro Airport always ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready — they will not let you through without it. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to have on hand | While not always checked, having a hotel booking or a letter of invitation from a host speeds things up. If you are staying with a local, the host should meet you at the airport or provide a signed letter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to show if asked | Officers rarely ask for proof of funds, but having a bank statement or credit card showing at least $500 USD covers you if they do. Cash is king in the islands — bring enough USD for your stay. | Recommended |
Cash only at immigration
The visa-on-arrival fee must be paid in US dollars cash. There is no ATM at the airport, and cards are not accepted. Bring at least $100 USD in small bills to cover the fee and any unexpected costs.
No eVisa or online application
There is no eVisa system for the Marshall Islands. You cannot apply online. The only option for Peruvian passport holders is the visa on arrival at the airport. Do not fall for websites offering online visas — they are scams.
