Iraqi passport holders need an eVisa to travel to Fiji. You must apply online before you fly — there's no visa-on-arrival option for Iraqi nationals. The process is straightforward, but make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Fiji eVisaIraqi passport holders must secure an approved eVisa prior to flying to Fiji. Apply before travel | You must obtain a Fiji eVisa before departure. Apply online through the official Fiji Immigration Department portal. The eVisa is not extendable. | Required |
| Passport validityFiji requires your passport to remain valid for half a year after you enter. At least 6 months | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of arrival in Fiji. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesYou need an empty page in your passport for the immigration officer to stamp. At least 1 page | Your passport must contain at least 1 blank page for the entry stamp. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketImmigration may ask to see proof that you will leave Fiji. Proof of departure | You must present a confirmed return or onward ticket showing departure from Fiji before your visa expires. | Required |
| Proof of sufficient fundsHaving bank statements or cash helps show you can support yourself while in Fiji. For your stay | You may be asked to show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your accommodation and living expenses during your stay in Fiji. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou do not need to fill out any arrival form before landing. Not required | Fiji does not require a separate arrival declaration for Iraqi passport holders. | Not required |
Apply early — no exceptions
The eVisa is mandatory for Iraqi citizens. Don't risk booking flights until you have the approval. Airlines check this before you board, and there's no way to get a visa at the airport in Fiji.
Passport validity is critical
Fiji requires your passport to be valid for 6 months from your arrival date. If it's close to expiring, renew it before applying for the eVisa — otherwise your application may be rejected.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Fiji immigration eVisa portal and fill out the application form. You'll need to upload a digital photo, passport scan, and supporting documents. Pay the fee online using a credit or debit card.
2
Wait for approval
Processing typically takes a few business days. Check your email for the approval notification. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have the eVisa in hand.
3
Print your eVisa
Once approved, print a copy of the eVisa approval letter. You'll need to show it at check-in and at Fiji immigration on arrival.
4
Arrive at Nadi International Airport
Most international flights land at Nadi (NAN). Go through immigration, present your passport, eVisa, and any other requested documents. The officer will stamp your passport with your entry permit.
