Overview
Marshall Islands coverage is lite because the reviewed live official source packet from the Embassy of the Republic of the Marshall Islands supports visitor-entry, visa-exemption, visa-on-arrival, V-1 visitor visa and B-1 business visa guidance, but does not expose a stable full public checklist for ordinary work, residence, family or study routes. Applicants should confirm any non-visitor, investment, work, residence or long-stay case directly with Marshall Islands immigration or the competent RMI authority before relying on it. The Embassy consular page says the Business Visa (B-1) is for individuals with an approved FIBL, meaning Foreign Investment Business License, and lists a non-refundable application processing fee of US$300. Visa Atlas treats this as an investment/business-authority route and does not infer work, residence or settlement rights beyond the approved RMI business visa and licence context.
