| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond departure | Your passport must have at least 6 months of validity remaining from your departure date from Fiji. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Nadi Airport always ask for proof of a return or onward flight out of Fiji. Have a printed or digital copy of your ticket ready — they will not let you through without it. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to have ready | Carry a hotel booking confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Fiji. While not always checked, officers may ask for it if your stay seems unclear. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to have ready | Have bank statements or a credit card showing you can cover your stay — around FJD 500–1,000 per week is a safe benchmark. Immigration rarely asks, but budget airlines sometimes check at check-in. | Recommended |
No visa on arrival — apply well in advance
Nepali passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Fiji. You must apply at a Fijian embassy or consulate before you travel. Start the process at least 6 weeks before your departure to avoid last-minute issues.
Nearest embassy is in New Delhi
Since there's no Fijian embassy in Nepal, the closest option is the Fijian Embassy in New Delhi, India. You can apply by mail or in person. Contact them first to confirm the exact requirements and mailing address.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa at a Fijian embassy or consulate
Contact the nearest Fijian diplomatic mission (e.g., in New Delhi, India, or Canberra, Australia) to submit your visa application. You'll need to provide your passport, photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, and possibly proof of funds. Processing time varies — start at least 4–6 weeks before your trip.

Pack your documents for the airport
Before you leave for the airport, double-check you have your passport with the visa sticker, return ticket confirmation, hotel booking, and travel insurance documents. Keep them in your carry-on, not checked luggage.
3
Arrive at Nadi or Suva airport and go through immigration
At Nadi International Airport (or Suva's Nausori Airport), join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Hand over your passport with visa, boarding pass, and any requested documents. The officer may ask about your accommodation and return plans. Answer clearly. You'll get an entry stamp — check the date is correct.

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.
