Northern Mariana Islands Travel Guide

The Northern Mariana Islands share the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program with Guam, letting eligible nationalities, including Australia, Brunei, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Nauru, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and the UK, enter visa free for up to 45 days with the same G-CNMI Electronic Travel Authorization required in advance. Beyond the general waiver program, the CNMI runs its own specific arrangement for Chinese nationals: the EVS-TAP program lets prescreened citizens of the People's Republic of China travel to the CNMI without a visa for stays of 14 days or less, a distinctly narrower and separate track from the main waiver list.

Russia is notably absent from the standard Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program's country list, so Russian citizens likely need a full visa rather than relying on any waiver route, worth confirming directly given how specific and nationality-dependent these programs are. Outside of the waiver programs, general CNMI entry requirements follow the same rules as any other US destination.
