Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |

| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Romanian passport needs to be valid only for the period you plan to stay in the Marshall Islands — there is no 6-month validity rule. Airlines may still check for 6 months validity, so verify with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Marshall Islands | Immigration officers at Amata Kabua International Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have your booking confirmation ready — either printed or on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | You may be asked where you are staying during your visit. A hotel confirmation or a letter from a host with their address is sufficient. Keep a copy handy. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during the stay | Border officers can ask for evidence of sufficient funds. Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have at least $100–$200 per day of your stay. | Recommended |
No visa needed, but be prepared
You don't need a visa, but immigration can still ask for proof of onward travel and accommodation. Have digital copies ready on your phone.
Medical care is limited
The Marshall Islands has basic medical facilities. For serious issues, you'd need evacuation to Hawaii or Guam. Travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage is strongly recommended.
