Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Danish passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be 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 at Amata Kabua International Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they check this before granting entry. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | You may be asked where you're staying. A hotel confirmation or a letter from a host is enough. Most travellers carry a printed booking just in case. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during the stay | Immigration can ask for evidence of sufficient funds. Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have at least $200–$300 for your trip. They rarely ask, but it's better to have it. | Recommended |
No visa extensions available
Danish passport holders cannot extend their 90-day visa-free stay. Plan your departure date carefully — overstaying can lead to fines and a re-entry ban.
Local currency is USD
The Marshall Islands uses the US dollar. ATMs are scarce outside Majuro, so bring enough cash for your stay. Credit cards are accepted at major hotels but not everywhere.
What happens at the border
1
Arrival at Amata Kabua International Airport (MAJ)
After landing in Majuro, follow signs to the immigration hall. Join the queue for foreign visitors. Have your passport, return ticket (printed or on phone), and accommodation booking ready. The officer will stamp your passport with a 90-day entry permit. The process usually takes 5–15 minutes.
2
Baggage claim and customs
After immigration, collect your luggage from the carousel. Customs may ask to open bags for inspection. Declare any food, plants, or animal products — penalties for undeclared items are strict.
3
Exit the airport
Once through customs, you're free to leave the terminal. Taxis and hotel shuttles are available outside. If you have an eSIM, it should activate as soon as you connect to the local network.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free stay is not extendable for Danish passport holders. You must leave before the 90 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban from re-entry.
If you're transiting and don't leave the airport, you generally don't need a visa. But since flights are limited, most transits involve an overnight stay — in that case, the 90-day visa-free rule applies. Check with your airline.
You will be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. There are no exceptions.
No, there is no formal requirement to show bank statements or cash. However, having a credit card and some USD cash (the local currency) is practical for paying for taxis, food, and accommodation.
No mandatory vaccinations for entry. But the CDC recommends routine vaccines plus hepatitis A, typhoid, and tetanus. Check with your doctor 4–6 weeks before travel.
No. The 90-day visa-free entry is for tourism and business visits only. For work or study, you need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit from the Marshall Islands consulate before you travel.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You may be fined, detained, and banned from re-entering for a period. Always leave on time or apply for an extension before your stay expires (though extensions are not available for Danish passport holders).
