Entry requirements

RequirementDetailsStatus
Valid passport
Must be valid for the duration of your stay
Your Belgian 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 check for at least 6 months, so verify with your carrier before departure.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 flight out of the Marshall Islands ready. Without one, you may be denied boarding or entry.Recommended
Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or host invitation
Carry a confirmed hotel reservation or a letter from your host in the Marshall Islands. While not always checked, having it ready avoids delays at immigration. Bookings on platforms like Booking.com or Agoda work fine.Recommended
Proof of funds
Show you can support yourself during your stay
Have access to at least $100–$200 USD per day of your stay, either in cash, bank statements, or a credit card. Immigration may ask for proof of sufficient funds, especially if you're staying longer than a few weeks.Recommended
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the day you land in the Marshall Islands, not your departure date. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before you go.
No visa extensions available
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. If you overstay, you may face fines or be barred from re-entry. Plan your trip carefully.
