Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid only for the time you plan to stay in Fiji. Airlines sometimes ask for 6 months validity — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Fiji | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready when you land. | 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, but it speeds things up if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough for your stay. No set minimum amount, but around FJD 200 per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from arrival
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Fiji, not from your departure date. Double-check before you fly.
Visa-free for 120 days
Israeli passport holders get a full 120-day stay without a visa. That's plenty of time to explore the islands or work remotely.
What happens at the border
