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 citizens from all other countries not listed in the exemption or visa-on-arrival categories must apply for a visa before travelling to the Republic. It identifies the Visitors Visa as V-1 and lists a non-refundable application processing fee of US$100.
