Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Croatian passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Fiji. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Fiji | Immigration officers at Nadi Airport always ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. A flight booking to Australia, New Zealand, or Europe works — just have the itinerary ready on your phone or printed. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have your first night's hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. Officers rarely ask for it, but if you arrive without any address, they will pull you aside for questioning. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry at least 500 FJD (around €210) in cash or have a bank statement showing available funds. Immigration may ask to see it if you look like you are working or overstaying. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Fiji, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, you'll be turned away.
No visa, no fee, no forms
Croatian passport holders get 120 days visa-free with zero paperwork. Just your passport, return ticket, and accommodation confirmation. Simple.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Nadi or Suva airport
Most international flights land at Nadi International Airport (NAN). Suva's Nausori Airport (SUV) also handles some flights. Follow signs to 'Immigration' after disembarking.
2
Queue at immigration counter
Join the 'Foreign Passports' line. Have your passport, return ticket (printed or on phone), and accommodation confirmation ready. The officer will ask your purpose and length of stay.
3
Get stamped in
The officer stamps your passport with a visitor permit valid for up to 120 days. No fee, no forms. Keep the stamp visible — you'll need it when leaving.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, head to baggage claim, then customs. Green channel if you have nothing to declare. Red channel for goods over the duty-free limit.
