Even though some nationalities can get a visa on arrival in Fiji, Algerian passport holders are not eligible. You must have an approved eVisa before you board your flight. Airlines will check this at check-in.

Your Fiji eVisa cannot be extended. Plan your trip to fit within the allowed stay (usually 30 days). Overstaying can lead to fines and a ban from future visits.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents
Scan your passport bio page, take a digital photo, and gather your accommodation booking, flight itinerary, and bank statements. Ensure your passport has at least 6 months validity and 1 blank page.
2
Complete the online application
Go to the official Fiji eVisa portal and fill out the application form. Double-check every detail — a mistake can delay your visa. Upload your documents and pay the fee online.
3
Wait for processing
Processing typically takes 3-5 business days. Check your email regularly for updates or requests for additional information. You can also check the status on the portal.
4
Receive your eVisa
Once approved, you'll receive an eVisa approval notice by email. Print a copy or save it on your phone — you'll need to show it at check-in and at immigration in Fiji.
5
Arrive in Fiji
At Nadi International Airport (or Suva), go to the immigration counter. Present your passport, the eVisa approval, and your return ticket. The officer may ask about your accommodation and funds. After a quick check, you'll be stamped in.
