Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Fiji | Your passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Immigration officers at Nadi Airport check the 6-month validity rule strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Fiji | Immigration at Nadi Airport asks for a confirmed onward or return ticket before they let you through. Airlines also check this at check-in — if you don't have one, they won't let you board. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a printed or digital copy of your hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Fiji ready. Officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you're staying for more than a few weeks. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Carry at least FJD 500 (around USD 220) in cash or have a credit card with available balance. Immigration may ask to see proof of funds if you look like you're working or overstaying. | Recommended |
No visa, no stress
Indian passport holders can enter Fiji visa-free for up to 120 days. No application, no fee, no embassy visit. Just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket.
Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. Airlines check this before boarding — if you're short, you won't fly.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Nadi or Suva airport
Most flights land at Nadi International Airport (NAN). Suva's airport (SUV) handles some regional flights. Follow signs to 'Immigration' — it's a single queue.
2
Present documents at immigration counter
Hand over your passport, completed arrival card (given on the plane), and return ticket if asked. The officer will stamp your passport and usually grant 120 days without questions.
3
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel. Customs is straightforward — declare any food, plants, or large amounts of cash. Green channel if you have nothing to declare.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free entry is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you must leave Fiji and re-enter, or apply for a different visa category before your 120 days expire. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
No, if you're staying airside and not passing through immigration. But if you plan to leave the airport or have a layover longer than 24 hours, you'll need to meet the same visa-free entry requirements (valid passport, onward ticket).
You will likely be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry at Fiji immigration. Renew your passport before you travel. There are no exceptions for short trips.
Not officially required, but immigration officers may ask how you'll support yourself during your stay. Having a credit card or a few hundred dollars in cash (FJD or USD) is a good idea.
No. The visa-free entry is strictly for tourism, business meetings, or short visits. Any paid work, volunteering, or study requires a proper visa or permit. You'll need to apply through the Fiji Department of Immigration.
No mandatory vaccines for Indian passport holders. But routine vaccines (MMR, tetanus, hepatitis A) are recommended. Check with your doctor 4-6 weeks before travel.
No online pre-declaration is required. You'll fill out a paper arrival card on the plane — it asks for basic info like flight number, address in Fiji, and whether you're carrying restricted items.
