Omani passport holders cannot get a visa at the airport. You must have an approved visa before you board your flight to the Marshall Islands. Airlines may deny boarding without proof of a visa.
Medical care is limited
The Marshall Islands has a small hospital in Majuro and basic clinics on outer islands. For serious emergencies, you'll be evacuated to Hawaii or Guam. Travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage is a smart investment.

Processing usually takes 2–4 weeks, sometimes longer. Apply at least a month before your planned departure to be safe.
The Marshall Islands has embassies in Washington D.C., New York, and Tokyo, among others. If you're not near one, check if the nearest embassy accepts applications by mail. Contact them first to confirm the process.
Typically: a completed application form, your passport (valid 6+ months), two passport-sized photos, proof of return/onward travel, proof of accommodation, and the visa fee. The embassy may ask for additional documents like a bank statement or travel itinerary.
Visa fees vary by embassy and type of visa. Expect to pay around $50–$100 USD. Contact the embassy for the exact amount and accepted payment methods.
