Marshall Islands Visa for Zambia Citizens 2026

Visa Required

Zambian citizens need to arrange entry authorization before traveling to the Marshall Islands, applied for through the Marshall Islands Embassy (commonly its mission in the United States, since there is no embassy in the region) or the Chief Secretary's Office; approval typically takes 2-4 weeks.

Guide last updated September 27, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended stay
  • Completed visa/entry permit application form
  • Proof of accommodation and a detailed itinerary
  • Return or onward flight ticket (flights to the Marshall Islands are limited, typically via Fiji or Hawaii)
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the stay
  • Sponsor or invitation letter if visiting for business or family reasons
  • No routine biometrics collected in advance; standard immigration checks apply on arrival

Visa types

  • Visitor Entry Permit (Tourist) — single entry, typically valid for 30-90 days depending on approval, no fixed standard fee published
  • Business Entry Permit — requires a local sponsor or company invitation, similar validity terms

How to apply

  • Contact the Marshall Islands Embassy (in the United States) or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs / Chief Secretary's Office directly, since there is no diplomatic mission in the region
  • Submit the application with a passport copy, itinerary, and supporting documents by email or courier as instructed by the mission
  • Approval is communicated in writing and should be carried when checking in for flights and on arrival
  • Processing typically takes 2-4 weeks given the limited number of missions handling these requests
  • No in-person interview is generally required

Fees & processing time

  • No standard published visa fee; nominal administrative charges may apply depending on the processing office
  • No separate service/agency fee if applying directly to the embassy or government office
  • Total estimated cost: minimal beyond courier/communication costs
  • Processing time: 2-4 weeks; build in extra time given limited flight connections
  • No express service generally available

Tips for Zambia travelers

  • Start the process at least 6-8 weeks before travel given limited diplomatic presence and infrequent flights
  • Confirm current requirements directly with the embassy, as entry rules for Pacific island nations can change with little notice
  • Have a clear, detailed travel itinerary ready, since approval officers often ask for specifics on onward travel
  • Because flights typically connect through Fiji or Hawaii, check transit visa requirements for those stops as well
  • Extensions of stay are handled locally through the Chief Secretary's Office in Majuro and require justification
