Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Swedish passport needs to be valid for the entire time you're in the Marshall Islands. No 6-month validity rule applies here — just cover your stay. Airlines may still ask for 6 months, so check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Marshall Islands | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | You may be asked where you're staying during your visit. A hotel confirmation or a letter from a host covers this. Keep a copy on your phone or printed. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during the stay | Immigration can ask for evidence of sufficient funds — roughly $100–$200 per day of your stay. A bank statement or credit card usually satisfies them. | Recommended |
No visa needed, but be prepared
You don't need a visa, but immigration can still deny entry if your documents aren't in order. Have your return ticket and accommodation details ready.
