Recent developments in the Swampland program motivate the existence of a mesoscopic Dark Dimension of size $0.1-10~μ$m with bulk Majorana fermions in the $1-10$ keV range. Motivated by this, we derive terrestrial constraints on Majorana bulk neutrinos as a function of the compactification radius. After determining the mass spectrum and mixing structure, we confront the model with Daya Bay neutrino-oscillation data, the KATRIN beta-decay bound, and the KamLAND-Zen neutrinoless double beta decay limit. For the latter, we obtain a closed-form expression for the effective Majorana mass and show that the Kaluza-Klein tower efficiently screens neutrinoless double beta decay when the nuclear momentum exceeds the compactification and Majorana scales. In the Dark-Dimension window, beta decay provides the strongest constraint, pushing the allowed Yukawa couplings down to O(10⁻³). Oscillation and neutrinoless double beta decay searches remain complementary, probing smaller and larger Majorana masses, respectively. For completeness, outside the Dark-Dimension assumptions, we investigate how hierarchical Majorana masses can weaken the constraints.
