Good to know
- Nationals of the ~40 Visa Waiver Program countries can travel for tourism or business up to 90 days with an approved ESTA (USD 40) instead of a visa.
- Travellers not eligible for the VWP need a visa, typically a B-2 tourist / B-1-B-2 visa; the application (MRV) fee is USD 185.
- A new USD 250 'Visa Integrity Fee' has been legislated for most nonimmigrant visa holders (VWP/ESTA travellers are exempt). As of mid-2026 it is not yet being collected because no payment mechanism is in place.
- Apply for ESTA only via the official CBP site (esta.cbp.dhs.gov); VWP travellers must hold an e-passport and meet program conditions.
Travelling on a passport from Marshall Islands, you can enter United States visa-free for short tourist stays. Carry a passport valid for your whole trip and proof of onward travel; border officers may still ask about your plans and funds.
