Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your South Korean passport needs to be valid for the full duration of your stay in Fiji. Airlines check this at check-in, and Fiji immigration enforces it at the border. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa-free entry | Fiji immigration requires proof of a return or onward ticket before they let you through. Budget airlines flying into Nadi check this strictly — have your booking confirmation ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration officers at Nadi Airport may ask for your hotel reservation or a letter from your host. Have a printed copy or a screenshot on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient for your stay | You should carry evidence of enough funds for your trip — a bank statement or credit card works. Fiji doesn't publish a fixed minimum, but having at least FJD 500–1,000 in accessible funds avoids delays. | Recommended |
No visa needed, but be prepared
You don't need a visa, but immigration can still deny entry if you can't show a return ticket or your passport is too short on validity. Keep those two things sorted and you're golden.
