Travelling from Switzerland to the Marshall Islands
Swiss travellers should ask the Marshallese embassy about visa and entry requirements – the FDFA does not publish them itself. The FDFA has no general travel warning for the Marshall Islands.
Closing days
The embassy is closed on Swiss public holidays and on Marshallese national holidays. Cantonal holidays in Geneva can also affect opening days.
Emergency assistance
In an emergency, Marshallese citizens should call the embassy on +41 22 730 86 50. The embassy can help with lost passports, arrests and serious accidents, but it cannot cover costs or interfere with Swiss authorities. Swiss citizens in trouble in the Marshall Islands should contact the Swiss Embassy in Manila, which also covers the Marshall Islands – or call the FDFA Helpline on +41 58 465 33 33.
