Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Fiji | Your passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from the day you leave Fiji. Airlines at Kuala Lumpur International Airport check this before boarding. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Fiji | Immigration officers at Nadi International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot of your booking ready. Without one, you risk being refused entry and sent back on the next flight. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in Fiji. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays at the counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Evidence of sufficient money for your stay | Have a bank statement or credit card showing you can cover your expenses. Immigration may ask if you look underprepared. No fixed amount is published, but aim for at least FJD 500 per week. | Recommended |
120 days is generous — but not extendable
You get a full 4 months visa-free. That's plenty for most trips. If you think you might need longer, plan ahead and contact the Fiji Department of Immigration in Suva before your permit expires.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. Airlines check this before boarding. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be turned away at the check-in counter.
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) handles some regional flights. Follow signs to 'Immigration' — it's usually a short walk from the gate.
2
Join the foreign passport queue
There are separate lines for Fijian citizens and foreign visitors. Look for the 'Foreign Passports' sign. Queues move reasonably fast — expect 10–20 minutes during peak hours.
3
Present your documents
Hand over your passport and return ticket (printed or on your phone). The officer may ask your purpose of visit and where you're staying. Answer clearly and briefly. They'll stamp your passport with a visitor permit valid for up to 120 days.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, head to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually a quick baggage scan. You're free to go after that.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free entry is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a visitor permit extension from the Department of Immigration in Suva before your 120 days expire. Extensions are granted case-by-case and cost around FJD 200–300. Overstaying can result in fines or deportation.
No. There is no arrival declaration required for Malaysian passport holders. You just show up with your passport and return ticket.
You will likely be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry at the border. The 6-month rule is strictly enforced. Renew your passport before travelling.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and short family visits only. Any paid work, volunteering, or study requires a separate work permit or student visa. Apply through the Fiji Department of Immigration before you arrive.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You may be fined (typically FJD 100–200 per month overstayed), detained, and deported at your own expense. A record of overstay can affect future visa applications to Fiji and other countries.
If you're staying airside and not passing through immigration, you don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the airport (e.g., for a layover in Nadi), you'll need to meet the visa-free entry requirements — valid passport, return ticket, and proof of accommodation if asked.
No. The visa-free entry is fixed at 120 days. There is no visa on arrival for longer stays. For stays beyond 120 days, you must apply for a visitor permit extension from the Department of Immigration in Suva before your 120 days are up.
