Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire period you plan to stay in the Marshall Islands. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Marshall Islands immigration, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Amata Kabua International Airport will ask to see a confirmed return or onward ticket before granting entry. Budget airlines flying into Majuro are known to check this at check-in as well. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to have on hand | While not always asked, having a hotel booking or a letter of invitation from a host in the Marshall Islands can speed up the immigration process. Officers may request it if your stay seems unclear. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough funds for your stay. There is no fixed minimum amount, but having $100–$200 per day available is a safe benchmark if asked. | Recommended |
Bring enough USD cash
There are no ATMs at Amata Kabua International Airport. You'll need cash to pay the visa fee (around $50–$100) and for any immediate expenses. Credit cards are rarely accepted for visa fees.
Medical facilities are limited
The Marshall Islands has basic medical facilities. For serious emergencies, evacuation to Hawaii or Guam may be needed. Travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage is strongly recommended.
What happens at the border

Arrive at Amata Kabua International Airport (MAJ)
After landing in Majuro, follow signs to the immigration hall. There's a dedicated counter for visa on arrival. Have your passport, return ticket, and cash ready.

After immigration, collect your luggage and walk through customs. Declare any food, plants, or large amounts of cash. The whole process usually takes 20–40 minutes.
