Guide last updated October 6, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for the duration of your stay in the Marshall Islands
  • No visa or advance application required for stays up to 90 days
  • Return or onward travel ticket
  • Proof of accommodation such as a hotel or guesthouse booking
  • Evidence of sufficient funds may be requested, though rarely checked in practice
  • No biometrics required on visa-free entry
  • Travel health insurance strongly recommended given the Marshall Islands' very limited medical facilities and the need for medical evacuation cover

Visa types

  • Visa-free entry: tourism and short business visits up to 90 days, no application needed
  • Entry permit extension: available from the Marshall Islands Immigration Division for visitors wishing to stay beyond 90 days
  • Work permit: required for any paid local employment, sponsored by a Marshall Islands employer

Entry conditions

  • Stay limit of 90 days per visit without a visa
  • Visa-free status covers tourism and business meetings but not local paid employment
  • Present your passport, return ticket, and accommodation details to immigration on arrival
  • Extensions beyond 90 days can be requested from the Immigration Division in Majuro before the initial period expires

Fees & processing time

  • No fee for visa-free entry or the standard 90-day stay
  • Extensions, where granted, carry a modest administrative fee and are typically processed within a few working days
  • Flights into the Marshall Islands are infrequent, so immigration processing on arrival is usually quick given smaller passenger volumes

Tips for United Kingdom travelers

  • Plan your flight schedule carefully, as the Marshall Islands has very limited air connections, often routed through Honolulu or Guam
  • Carry comprehensive travel and medical evacuation insurance, since serious medical cases are usually flown out to Hawaii or the Philippines
  • Bring sufficient US dollars in cash, as the Marshall Islands uses the US dollar and card acceptance outside Majuro is limited
  • Confirm accommodation in advance, particularly on outer atolls where options are very limited
  • Respect local customs and dress modestly when visiting outer islands and traditional communities
