Guide last updated September 29, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond arrival date
  • Completed arrival/entry permit form
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking)
  • Return or onward ticket (required, as onward connections from Majuro are limited)
  • Proof of sufficient funds for your stay
  • No biometrics required beyond a standard immigration photo
  • Travel health insurance recommended given very limited medical facilities

Visa types

  • Tourist entry permit on arrival: single entry, valid for up to 30 days, extendable
  • Business entry permit: similar validity, requires a local sponsor or invitation letter
  • No advance e-Visa system is required - the permit is issued directly at the airport

Visa on arrival

  • Available at Amata Kabua International Airport in Majuro, the country's main international gateway
  • Present your passport, return ticket, and accommodation proof at the immigration counter
  • A small entry permit fee is payable in US Dollars (the Marshall Islands uses the USD as its currency)
  • Processing at the airport counter typically takes just a few minutes given low passenger volumes
  • Flights are infrequent (Majuro is served mainly via United Airlines' island-hopper route), so confirm your onward connection carefully

Fees & processing time

  • Entry permit fee: approximately USD 15-20 for the initial 30-day stay
  • No separate service fee
  • On-arrival processing: a few minutes given light airport traffic
  • Extensions (up to 90 days total) can be arranged at the Immigration Division in Majuro for an additional modest fee, processed within a few business days

Tips for Canada travelers

  • Confirm onward flight availability well in advance, since the Marshall Islands has very limited air connectivity
  • Carry US Dollars in cash, as card payment options are limited outside Majuro's main hotels
  • Medical evacuation insurance is strongly recommended given the remote location and minimal local healthcare capacity
  • If visiting outer atolls, arrange transport and permits locally, as some areas require landowner permission
  • Pack for tropical conditions and be mindful of limited freshwater supply on some atolls
