Frequently asked questions

No. Nepal is not on Fiji's visa-waiver or visa-on-arrival list. You must obtain a visa from a Fijian embassy or consulate before you travel.
There is no Fijian embassy in Nepal. The nearest option is the Fijian Embassy in New Delhi, India. You can apply by mail or in person. Alternatively, check if the Fijian High Commission in Canberra, Australia, accepts applications from your region. Contact them first to confirm the process.
Processing times vary, but typically take 2–4 weeks. Apply at least 6 weeks before your planned departure to allow for any delays.
You'll need a passport valid for 6+ months, completed application form, two passport-sized photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, proof of sufficient funds (bank statements), and a cover letter explaining your travel purpose. The embassy may ask for additional documents.
Visa fees vary by embassy and visa type. Expect to pay around USD 50–100 for a single-entry tourist visa. Check with the specific embassy for the exact fee and payment method.
Extensions are not available for visa holders. You must leave before your visa expires. If you need more time, apply for a longer visa initially or contact the Fiji Department of Immigration before your current visa ends.
Fiji requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you are arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Nepal is not a yellow fever endemic country, so you likely won't need it unless you've recently traveled to an affected area.
