About the Marshall Islands Passport
The Marshall Islands passport ranks 27th, which is mid-table. It allows visa-free travel to 77 countries, and total mobility reaches 150 destinations when eTAs, visas on arrival, and e-Visas are counted. Europe is the strongest region at 39 visa-free destinations, whereas South America is the weakest with only 3. That gap matters for anyone planning travel across the continent.
Its list of key destinations is unusual. France and the Schengen area, the United States, and Singapore are visa-free, and the United Kingdom asks for an eTA. Australia and the United Arab Emirates offer an e-Visa. Canada, Japan, China, and Brazil still require a visa in advance, so Asia and the Americas need some planning and extra time before booking flights. For holders who want fewer restrictions, a second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to 31 destinations.
