Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity beyond your intended departure date from Fiji. Immigration at Nadi Airport checks this strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding in Germany. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Fiji | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket at the border. Airlines in Frankfurt or Munich will also check this before letting you board. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | While not always requested, having a hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Fiji speeds up the immigration process. Officers may ask where you're staying on arrival. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | You may be asked to show you have enough money for your trip — around 500 FJD per day is a safe benchmark. A recent bank statement or credit card usually satisfies this. | Recommended |
No visa needed, but be prepared
You don't need a visa, but immigration will check your passport validity and return ticket. Have both ready to avoid delays.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check this before you board. If your passport expires within 6 months of your arrival date, you won't be allowed to fly. Renew first.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Nadi or Suva airport
Most international flights land at Nadi International Airport (NAN). Suva's airport (SUV) handles some regional flights. Follow signs to 'Immigration' — it's a single queue for all foreign visitors.
2
Present your passport and ticket
Hand over your passport (open to the photo page) and your return/onward ticket. The officer may ask your purpose of visit and where you're staying. Answer briefly and clearly.
3
Get your entry stamp
The officer stamps your passport with a visitor permit valid for up to 120 days. No fee, no form. The whole process takes 2–5 minutes if the line is short.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel, then walk through customs (green channel if nothing to declare). You're in Fiji.
