Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Fiji enforces the 6-month passport validity rule strictly. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Carry a photocopy of your passport bio page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Fiji | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. A flight booking confirmation or airline e-ticket works. Without one, you risk being refused entry and sent back on the next flight. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a printed or digital hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter of invitation from your host in Fiji. Immigration may ask where you are staying on arrival, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least FJD 500 (approx. €200) per week of your stay. Immigration officers rarely ask, but if they do, you need to show you are not planning to work illegally. | Recommended |
120 days is generous — but not extendable
You get a full 120 days visa-free, which is plenty for most trips. But if you think you might need more time, plan ahead — extensions are not available.
Overstaying is costly
Overstaying even a day can result in a fine of around FJD 200–500 (€80–200) and a note in your immigration record. Set a reminder to leave on time.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Nadi or Suva airport
Most international flights land at Nadi International Airport (NAN). Suva's Nausori Airport (SUV) also handles some flights. Follow signs to 'Immigration'.
2
Queue at immigration counter
Join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Have your passport, return ticket (printed or on phone), and accommodation booking ready. The officer will stamp you in — usually takes 2-5 minutes.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel, then walk through customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free stay is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you need to apply for a different visa type before your 120 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines or deportation.
No. If you're connecting to another international flight and staying airside (not passing through immigration), you don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the airport, you'll need to meet the visa-free entry requirements.
You'll likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Fijian immigration. Renew your passport before you travel. There are no exceptions.
Not officially required for Latvian passport holders. But if you look like you might work illegally or overstay, an officer could ask. Having a credit card or bank statement handy is smart.
No. The 120-day visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, or visiting family. Any paid work requires a work permit. If you're caught working without one, you risk deportation and a ban.
No mandatory vaccines for entry from Latvia. But hepatitis A, typhoid, and routine vaccines (MMR, tetanus) are recommended. Check with your doctor 4-6 weeks before travel.
No. Fiji does not require an online arrival declaration for Latvian passport holders. You just fill out the paper arrival card on the plane or at the airport.
