No visa-on-arrival
Cameroonian passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Fiji. You must apply and receive approval before you travel. Plan for 1–3 weeks processing time.

Frequently asked questions
No. Fiji does not offer visa-on-arrival for Cameroonian passport holders. You must obtain a visa before you travel.
Processing typically takes 1 to 3 weeks. Apply well in advance of your planned travel date.
You need to apply at a Fiji embassy or consulate. Fiji has embassies in countries like Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. If there is no embassy in Cameroon, you may need to apply by mail or through a visa processing center.
You'll need a valid passport (6+ months validity), completed application form, passport-sized photos, flight itinerary, accommodation booking, proof of sufficient funds, and travel insurance. Check with the specific embassy for exact requirements.
Visa fees vary by embassy and type of visa. Expect to pay around 50–100 USD, but confirm with the embassy you apply through.
Extensions are not available for Cameroonian passport holders. You must leave before your visa expires.
Fiji requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever. Cameroon is not on the risk list, so it's not required unless you've recently traveled to an affected area.
