Nepali passport holders need a visa to enter Fiji. There is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa option for Nepali citizens, so you must apply for a visa at a Fijian embassy or consulate before you travel. Plan ahead — the process takes time and requires several documents.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa for FijiYou cannot get a visa on arrival or online — you must get it from a Fijian embassy or consulate before you fly. Apply at an embassy/consulate | Nepali citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Fiji. Apply at the nearest Fijian embassy or consulate; eVisa is not available for Nepali passport holders. | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport expiry date — if it's too close, renew it before applying for your visa. At least 6 months beyond departure | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your intended date of departure from Fiji. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesCount the blank pages in your passport — the visa and entry stamp need a clean page. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for the visa and entry stamp. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketHave your flight itinerary ready to show at check-in and upon arrival in Fiji. Proof of departure from Fiji | Immigration may require proof of a return or onward ticket to a country where you have the right of entry. | Required |
| Proof of fundsIt's not always asked, but having proof of money helps avoid issues at immigration. Sufficient for your stay | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your stay in Fiji, such as bank statements or cash. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any arrival form before landing. Not required | Fiji does not require an arrival declaration for Nepali passport holders. | Not required |
| eVisa applicationDon't waste time on an online eVisa application — it won't work for your passport. Not eligible | Nepali citizens are not eligible for Fiji's eVisa program. You must apply through an embassy or consulate. | Not required |
No visa on arrival — don't risk it
Nepali citizens cannot get a visa on arrival in Fiji. If you arrive without a visa, you will be refused entry and sent back on the next flight at your own expense. Always secure your visa before booking flights.
Apply well in advance
Visa processing can take weeks, and you may need to travel to a Fijian embassy in another country. Start the process at least 6-8 weeks before your intended departure to avoid delays.
What happens at the border
1
Locate the nearest Fijian embassy or consulate
Nepal does not have a Fijian embassy. The nearest Fijian diplomatic missions are in New Delhi (India), Tokyo (Japan), or London (UK). Contact the one that covers your region to confirm jurisdiction and application procedures.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, completed form, flight bookings, accommodation proof, bank statements, and fee. Make copies of everything — the embassy will keep the originals of some documents.
3
Submit your application in person or by mail
Depending on the embassy, you may need to appear in person for an interview or you can mail your application. Check the embassy's website for specific instructions. Allow at least 2-4 weeks for processing.
4
Wait for processing and collect your visa
Once approved, the embassy will stamp a visa in your passport. If you applied by mail, they'll return your passport by courier. Verify the visa's validity dates and entry conditions before you travel.
5
Arrive at Nadi International Airport
Present your passport with the visa, completed arrival card, and supporting documents to immigration. Have your return ticket and accommodation details ready — officers may ask to see them.
