Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Fiji | Your passport must have at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Immigration officers at Nadi Airport check the 6-month validity rule strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Fiji | You need a confirmed onward or return ticket to any destination outside Fiji. Airlines at departure check this before issuing a boarding pass — immigration at Nadi also asks for it on arrival. | Recommended |

| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | You should carry at least FJD 500 (approx. USD 220) in cash or have a credit/debit card with available balance. Immigration rarely asks, but budget airlines sometimes check at check-in. | Recommended |
