No visa on arrival — don't risk it
Mozambican passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Fiji. If you arrive without a visa, you'll be refused entry and sent back on the next flight at your own cost.
Start your visa application early
With no Fijian embassy in Mozambique, you may need to mail your passport or use a visa service. This can take weeks, so begin at least 6–8 weeks before departure.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for your visa
Contact the nearest Fijian embassy or consulate. Since Mozambique may not have a Fijian mission, you might need to apply through a consulate in a neighboring country or via a visa service. Submit your passport, application form, photos, and supporting documents. Processing can take several weeks, so start at least 6–8 weeks before your planned departure.
2
Book your flights and accommodation
Once you have your visa, book your flights to Fiji (likely via Nadi International Airport) and reserve accommodation. Keep printed confirmations.
3
Prepare your documents for immigration
At Nadi Airport, join the 'Visitors' queue. Have your passport, visa, return ticket, accommodation proof, and funds evidence ready. The officer may ask simple questions about your trip — answer clearly.
4
Clear customs and enter Fiji
After immigration, collect your bags and pass through customs. Declare any food, plants, or animal products — Fiji has strict biosecurity rules.
