Marshall Islands visa for Japanese citizens

What it means in practice

90 days is about three months. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 29 January 2027, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.

How the Marshall Islands counts your stay: 90 days from arrival for visa-on-arrival and EU/UK waiver travellers; US, FSM and Palau citizens have no time limit.
