Entry details
Holders of a Marshall Islands passport need a visa obtained in advance when visiting New Zealand. The Marshall Islands passport currently ranks #89 of 199 worldwide, with 111 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.
New Zealand is relatively guarded about who it admits, admitting 61 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #22 with 162 open destinations. As fellow Oceania countries, their rules are frequently tied to regional arrangements. Access is actually lopsided the other way — New Zealand citizens enter Marshall Islands more easily (visa on arrival).
In the opposite direction, New Zealand citizens travelling to Marshall Islands face: visa on arrival.
