Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the full 120 days you plan to stay in Fiji. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave Fiji, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Fiji | Immigration officers at Nadi Airport always ask for a confirmed onward ticket. This can be a flight out of Fiji or a cruise booking — without one, you'll be refused entry and sent back on the next plane. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have your first night's hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. Officers occasionally ask for this, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough money for your stay. Immigration rarely asks for this, but they can request it if you look like you might work illegally. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity at check-in. If it's less than 6 months from your arrival date in Fiji, they will not let you board. No exceptions.
No visa, but still need a return ticket
Even though you don't need a visa, immigration officers routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy ready.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare documents before departure
Check your passport validity (6+ months from arrival), print or screenshot your return ticket and first night's accommodation. Get travel insurance and a local SIM or eSIM.

After immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel, then walk through customs (green channel if nothing to declare). You're in Fiji.
