Ukrainian passport holders can get a visa on arrival in the Marshall Islands. You don't need to apply in advance — just show up with the right documents and pay the fee at the airport in Majuro. As of 2026, this is the standard entry process for tourism and short business visits.
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 Proof of onward travel | Immigration at Amata Kabua International Airport will ask for a confirmed return or onward ticket before granting entry. Have a printed copy or a digital version ready on your phone. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in the Marshall Islands. Immigration officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have at least $200 USD in cash or a credit card statement showing available funds. Immigration may ask how you plan to support yourself during your visit. | Recommended |
Cash is king in Majuro
The airport has no reliable ATM for foreign cards, and credit cards are not widely accepted. Bring enough USD cash to cover the visa fee (around $50) plus a few days of expenses. You can find ATMs in town, but they're not guaranteed to work with your card.
Flights are limited
The Marshall Islands are remote. Most flights arrive via Guam, Honolulu, or Fiji. Book your return ticket well in advance — last-minute seats are expensive and often sold out.
What happens at the border
