The World Bank has produced a five-minute video about future ocean inundation scenarios for Majuro Atoll. The video is part of a study produced jointly by the World Bank and the RMI government called “Adapting to Rising Sea Levels in the Marshall Islands.” It provides visual projections about the flooding that is forecast to occur as sea levels continue to rise. It also suggests possible options for adaptation, including increasing the height of the islands and “reclaiming” (filling) land.

We cleared out of the Marshall Island from Ebeye in May 2023. There was no charge and everyone was really nice. At the time Ebeye had both Custom and Immigration officers stationed there.
You do need a cruising permit to stop at Ebeye. We tried to get one before leaving Majuro but didn’t get any response. We went to Ebeye anyway and talked to the port authority. There was no problem at all, he arranged for custom, the immigration and quarantine to clear us out.
If you violate Marshallese Border restrictions and enter any atoll, you may be subjected to a $10,000 fine, your boat impounded and crew/captain jailed until being deported, or on a case by case determined penalty basis.
A yacht has recently (March 2022) been finned $10,000 for violating the above Marshallese Border restrictions.

2018 Update for Bikini. The procedure for visiting Bikini Atoll has changed for a year. IA (Island Affairs) will issue cruising permits for all atolls, including Bikini, without special fees.
Some atolls may require special permissions due to local conditions but no extraordinary fees are involved. The $5000 fee seems to have been a passing whimsy.
It’s also possible to volunteer to carry needed supplies to the outer islands, the resulting goodwill may even bring in a fee waiver and is a very positive way to meet the locals. Check-in IA to volunteer.
Have visited immigration 4 times this week to confirm and reconfirmed the following. As a Canadian, also applies to all other countries listed above under standard tourist visit, we are now given 90 free on arrival by yacht. NO extensions will be given. You must leave the country and return with new clearance papers from another port to gain another 90 days free.
No limit on how many days you must be away. There are NO 6-month visas. To apply for a one year visa is $200 US each person and that application must be made with 14 days of arrival. The 1 yr visa is invalidated by flying out of the country and on your return flight you are given only 30 days from your arrival.
Be advised there is a surprising new fee for a cruising permit for Bikini Atoll. The new mayor of Bikini will approve your visit to Bikini for only seven days max. For the interesting fee of $5,000.00 USD. YES! Payable in his office, no credit cards.
The previous fee was $25.00, in line with most of the other atolls of the Marshalls, which are usually collected in the office of Island Affairs which issues all the cruising permits.
