Rules in force · 9Coral roads, heat and no shade
- Oceania ↗Oceania's island states guard their farms and reefs at the border: tick 'yes' on the arrival card for any food, plant, animal product, soil or used outdoor gear, and let the officer decide.
- Oceania ↗Across the tropical South Pacific, cyclones are possible from November to April: choose insurance that covers weather delays and keep one spare night before a long-haul departure.
- Micronesia ↗Micronesia runs on a handful of weekly flights, so one cancellation can cost several days: build slack into every connection between islands.
- Marshall Islands ↗Entry rules are the Marshall Islands' own, not US rules: check with RMI immigration or a Marshall Islands embassy for your passport before booking, and carry an onward ticket.
- Marshall Islands ↗Visits to outer atolls usually need permission from the local government or landowners, and some charge a visitor fee; arrange them through your hotel or the tourism office.
- Marshall Islands ↗Kwajalein Atoll hosts a US Army base: access is restricted to authorised people.
- Majuro Atoll ↗The island-hopper flies a few days a week and can be cancelled: keep a spare day before any onward international flight.
- Majuro ↗Coral roads, heat and no shade: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Majuro ↗After dark, take a taxi door to door; the road is dark in places and dogs roam.
