Mozambican passport holders need a visa to enter the Marshall Islands. You must arrange this before you travel — there is no visa-on-arrival option. Plan ahead, as the application process can take several weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply for a visa at the Marshall Islands Embassy | You need a visa before traveling to the Marshall Islands. Apply through the Marshall Islands Embassy in Washington, D.C. — the embassy processes visa applications by mail or in person. Expect to submit your passport, a completed application form, a passport photo, and a fee (around $100 USD). Processing takes 2–4 weeks, so apply well ahead of your trip.Apply for visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the entire stay | Your Mozambique passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from the Marshall Islands. The Marshall Islands strictly enforces this rule — airlines check it at check-in. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before booking. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration at Amata Kabua International Airport will ask to see a confirmed onward or return ticket. This is a standard requirement for all visitors — they want proof you're leaving within your visa's validity. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to have on hand | While not always checked, having a hotel booking or a letter of invitation from a host in the Marshall Islands smooths the process. If you're staying with a friend, ask them to write a letter with their address and contact info. Keep a copy in your carry-on. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to show you can support yourself | Immigration officers may ask how you'll fund your stay. Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have at least $500 USD available. This isn't a hard rule, but having it ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
