Frequently asked questions
No. There is no visa on arrival for Uzbek passport holders. You must obtain a visa from an embassy or consulate before traveling.
Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks, but can take longer. Apply at least 6 weeks before your planned departure to avoid delays.
You apply at the Embassy of the Republic of the Marshall Islands in Washington, D.C., or the Consulate in New York. You can mail your application or visit in person. Check their website for the latest forms and fees.
You'll need a completed application form, your passport (valid 6+ months), two passport photos, a flight itinerary, hotel booking or invitation letter, proof of sufficient funds (bank statements), and a return ticket. Additional documents may be requested.
Visa fees vary and are set by the embassy. Expect to pay around $50–$100 for a tourist visa. Check with the embassy for the exact amount and accepted payment methods.
Extensions are not available for tourist visas. You must leave before your visa expires. Overstaying can result in fines or deportation.
It's not mandatory for entry, but strongly recommended. Medical facilities are limited, and emergency evacuation to a hospital in Hawaii or elsewhere can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Insurance covers that.
