How to Enter Marshall Islands
Do I need a passport or visa to enter?
Under the Compact of Free Association, if you are a U.S. citizen, you do not need a visa to enter the Marshall Islands. However, there is a departure fee of $20 for individuals over 12 and less than 60 years old. Diplomats are exempt from this fee. Cholera immunizations are required for those arriving from infected areas. Visit the Embassy of the Republic of the Marshall Islands website for the most current visa information.Special Travel Circumstances in Marshall Islands
Currency: The Republic of the Marshall Islands uses U.S. dollars. The two ATMs on Majuro can be found at the Bank of Guam and at Robert Reimers Resort. A few hotels and restaurants accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express credit cards. Most transactions are cash only.
Customs: Customs authorities of the Marshall Islands strictly prohibit the importation of firearms, ammunition, explosives, and indecent publications. Certification from the Quarantine Division is required to import animals, plants, and fruits. We advise you to contact the Embassy of the Republic of the Marshall Islands or one of the Marshall Islands' consulates in the United States for specific information regarding customs requirements, especially when dealing with the importation of animals into the Marshall Islands.
Communication: The Marshall Islands relies primarily on radio in the remote outer islands, which causes some communication problems. Local telephone service as well as worldwide international long distance is available on Majuro and Ebeye. The cost for international calls is quite expensive. Internet service is also available and is relatively expensive.
Flights: United Airlines flies once a day through Majuro, six days a week. Flights in and out of the Marshall Islands are three days a week to the west toward Guam, and three days a week east to Honolulu. Although Air Marshall Islands operates within the Marshall Islands, service is not reliable. Be aware that flights and boats to and from outer islands are often cancelled, sometimes leaving visitors stranded for one or more weeks.
