Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in the Marshall Islands | Your Taiwan passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. The Marshall Islands do not enforce a 6-month validity rule — your passport just needs to be valid for the duration of your stay. Airlines flying from Taiwan may still ask for 6 months validity, so check with your carrier before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Immigration officers check this at arrival | You need a confirmed onward ticket leaving the Marshall Islands within 90 days. Officers at Amata Kabua International Airport ask for this before stamping you in. A flight booking to Guam, Honolulu, or Majuro's regional connections works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a printed hotel reservation or a letter from your host in the Marshall Islands ready. Immigration may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A simple booking confirmation from a Majuro hotel is enough. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing access to funds. There's no fixed minimum amount, but having around $500–$1,000 USD equivalent covers a short stay. Immigration rarely asks, but it's better to have it ready. | Recommended |
