Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free stay is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave Fiji and re-enter, but immigration may question frequent returns. Overstaying can result in fines or deportation.
If you're connecting to another international flight and don't leave the airport transit area, you don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the airport (even for a few hours), you need the same visa-free entry rules — passport validity 6 months, onward ticket.
You will be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at immigration. Renew your passport before travel. No exceptions.
Not officially required for Finnish passport holders, but immigration may ask how you'll support yourself. Having a credit card or a few hundred FJD in cash (or a bank statement) is wise.
Technically, tourist visas don't permit work — including remote work for a foreign employer. Fiji doesn't have a specific digital nomad visa. In practice, short-term remote work is tolerated, but officially it's a grey area. If you're staying 120 days, consider applying for a work permit or consulting the Fiji Immigration Department.
No mandatory vaccines for entry from Finland. But routine vaccines (MMR, tetanus, hepatitis A) are recommended. Check with your travel clinic 4–6 weeks before departure.
No. Fiji does not require an online arrival declaration for Finnish passport holders. You just fill out a paper landing card on the plane (standard for all passengers).
