Lebanese passport holders need a visa to enter Fiji. You must apply for this visa at a Fijian embassy or consulate before you travel — there is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa option for Lebanese nationals. Plan ahead, as the process takes time.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa for FijiYou need a visa before you fly; you cannot get one on arrival or online. Not eligible for eVisa | Lebanese passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to Fiji. You are not eligible for Fiji's eVisa program, so you must apply at the nearest Fiji embassy or consulate. Submit your application well in advance of your planned travel date. | Required |
| Passport validityFiji requires your passport to be valid long after your trip ends. At least 6 months | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of departure from Fiji. Check your passport's expiry date now and renew if needed. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesImmigration officers need a blank page to stamp your passport. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank visa page for entry stamps. Ensure you have a clean, unused page available. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketYou need to show you have plans to leave Fiji. Proof of departure | You must have a confirmed return or onward ticket showing your departure from Fiji. This is required to prove you will leave the country within the allowed period. | Required |
| Proof of fundsImmigration may ask to see that you can support yourself financially. Sufficient for stay | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your stay in Fiji, such as bank statements or cash. The exact amount is not fixed but should match your planned activities and duration. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationNo extra online form is needed before you travel. Not required | Fiji does not require a separate arrival declaration for Lebanese passport holders. You will complete standard immigration and customs forms upon arrival. | Not required |
No eVisa or visa on arrival — apply early
Lebanese passport holders cannot use Fiji's eVisa system or get a visa on arrival. You must go through a Fijian embassy or consulate, which can take weeks. Start the process at least 6 weeks before your trip.
No Fijian embassy in Lebanon
You'll likely need to apply through a Fijian embassy in another country, such as Abu Dhabi or Tokyo. Contact the Fijian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to confirm which mission handles applications from Lebanon and whether you can apply by mail.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Fijian embassy or consulate
Find the Fijian diplomatic mission responsible for your region. Since Lebanon may not have a resident Fijian embassy, you might need to apply through a Fijian embassy in a neighboring country (e.g., in Abu Dhabi, UAE, or another designated office). Contact them to confirm application procedures and whether you can apply by mail or in person.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: completed application form, passport, photos, proof of accommodation, funds, and travel itinerary. Make copies of everything. Double-check that your passport has at least one blank page and is valid for 6 months beyond your planned departure from Fiji.
3
Submit your application and pay the fee
Submit your application to the Fijian embassy or consulate, either in person or by mail as instructed. Pay the visa fee at the time of submission. Keep the receipt — you'll need it if you have to follow up.
4
Wait for processing
Visa processing can take several weeks. There is no standard published timeline, so apply well in advance of your intended travel date. You may be asked for additional documents or an interview. Monitor your email or contact the embassy for status updates.
5
Receive your visa and travel
Once approved, you'll receive a visa sticker or stamp in your passport. Check the visa details (dates, duration) for accuracy. On arrival in Fiji, present your passport with the visa at immigration. Have your return ticket and proof of accommodation ready in case they ask.
