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 at Arlanda or Kastrup may still ask for 6 months, so check with your carrier before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Marshall Islands | Immigration at Amata Kabua International Airport checks for an onward or return ticket before letting you through. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight out of the country ready — they're strict about this. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a confirmed hotel reservation or a letter from your host in the Marshall Islands. Immigration may 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 90-day visit. There's no set minimum amount, but having $500–$1,000 USD available covers you for accommodation and daily expenses. | 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.
Stay is not extendable
The 90-day visa-free period cannot be extended. If you overstay, you may face fines or deportation. Plan your exit date carefully.
