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 one blank page for the entry stamp. Immigration officers at Nadi Airport check validity dates carefully — if your passport expires within 6 months of your departure, they may deny boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa-free entry | You must show a confirmed onward ticket leaving Fiji within 120 days. Airlines at departure check this before issuing a boarding pass — a flight booking confirmation or paid ticket works. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration may ask for your accommodation details during arrival processing. Have a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready — a phone screenshot works too. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient funds for your stay | Officers can request evidence you can support yourself — a bank statement showing at least 500 FJD per week or a credit card with available limit usually satisfies them. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive. Airlines check this before boarding — if you're short, you won't even get on the plane.
No visa, but have proof of onward travel
Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. A screenshot on your phone is fine — just have it ready.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Nadi or Suva airport
Most flights land at Nadi International Airport (NAN). Suva's airport (SUV) handles some regional flights. Follow signs to 'Immigration' — it's a single queue for all foreign passports.
2
Present your passport and documents
Hand over your passport (valid 6+ months) and your return/onward ticket. The officer may ask your hotel address — have it ready. They'll stamp you in for up to 120 days.
3
Collect luggage and clear customs
After immigration, grab your bags from the carousel. Customs is usually quick — declare any food, plants, or large amounts of cash (over 10,000 FJD equivalent).

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free stay is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave Fiji and re-enter, but immigration may question frequent back-to-back visits. Overstaying can result in fines or deportation.
If you're transiting (staying airside and leaving within 24 hours), you generally don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the airport, you'll need to meet the visa-free entry requirements (passport validity, onward ticket).
You'll be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at the border. Renew your passport before traveling. No exceptions.
No. There's no online arrival declaration for Fiji. You'll fill out a paper arrival card on the plane or at the airport — basic info like name, passport number, flight, and accommodation.
Technically, the visa-free entry is for tourism only. Remote work for a foreign employer is in a grey area — many travelers do it, but officially you're not allowed to work for a Fijian company. For long-term remote work, consider Fiji's 'Remote Work' visa (up to 12 months).
Children need their own passport (valid 6+ months). If only one parent is traveling, bring a notarized consent letter from the other parent — especially if surnames differ. Immigration may ask.
Fiji uses the Fijian dollar (FJD). ATMs are common in Nadi and Suva, but less so on outer islands. Bring some cash (200-300 FJD) for taxis and small shops. Credit cards are accepted at hotels and larger restaurants.
