Overview

Short-duration visa for travelers transiting through the Marshall Islands en route to another country, valid up to 3 days.

The Transit Visa (T-1) is a short-duration entry permit established to manage the movement of travelers passing through the Republic of the Marshall Islands while en route to a final destination. It serves as a necessary regulatory mechanism to ensure that individuals not intending to stay in the country are properly accounted for during their brief stopover. By providing a clear legal pathway for transit, the RMI ensures border security while accommodating international travelers who must clear immigration during their journey.

This visa is intended for travelers who are passing through the Marshall Islands and need to exit the international transit area, perhaps to change airports or connect to a different mode of transport. The ideal applicant is a traveler with confirmed onward travel arrangements, such as a flight or sea ticket to a third country. A key requirement is proof of this onward journey and, if applicable, a valid visa for the destination country. It is distinct from standard visitor visas because it is strictly limited to the purpose of transit.
