| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in the Marshall Islands. The Marshall Islands does not enforce a strict 6-month validity rule, but airlines may still ask for it — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration at Amata Kabua International Airport will ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready — they check this before letting you through. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | While not always asked, having a hotel booking or an invitation letter from a host can speed up the immigration process. Keep a printed copy or have it accessible on your phone. | Recommended |
