Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Icelandic passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Fiji. Immigration at Nadi Airport will check the expiry date against your departure ticket. Airlines also verify this before 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. Budget airlines like Fiji Airways enforce this strictly at check-in. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have your hotel reservation or a letter from your host ready. Immigration may ask for it, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked itinerary. A simple booking confirmation email works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough money for your stay. Immigration rarely asks for it, but they can request proof of at least FJD 500 per person. A recent statement from Landsbankinn or Arion Bank works. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity before boarding. If you have less than 6 months left, you may be denied boarding even if your passport is still valid. Check your expiry date now.
No visa needed, but be prepared
Visa-free doesn't mean no questions. Immigration officers can ask for proof of funds, onward ticket, and accommodation. Have everything ready in your hand luggage.
What happens at the border

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a visa before travelling or leave Fiji and re-enter (though re-entry is not guaranteed).
If you're staying airside and not passing through immigration, you don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the airport (even for a few hours), you'll need to meet the visa-free requirements above.
You will likely be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry by Fijian immigration. Renew your passport before travelling.
It's not always asked, but officers can request it. Have a credit card or cash handy. A rough guideline is FJD 100 per day of your stay.
The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and short visits. Remote work for a foreign employer is generally tolerated, but officially you're not allowed to work for a Fijian company. If you plan to work remotely long-term, consider Fiji's 'Remote Work' visa.
No mandatory vaccinations for entry, but hepatitis A, typhoid, and tetanus are recommended. Check with your doctor 4-6 weeks before travel.
No, Fiji does not require an online arrival declaration. You'll fill out a paper customs and immigration card on the plane or at the airport.
