Swedish passport holders can visit Fiji without a visa for up to 120 days. This policy has been in place since 2024 and covers tourism, business visits, and short-term stays. Just ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date.
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 6 months validity from the day you leave Fiji. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. Immigration officers in Nadi enforce this strictly. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Fiji | Immigration will ask for a confirmed onward ticket at the border. They want to see you're leaving within the 120-day visa-free window. A one-way ticket without proof of onward travel gets you pulled aside for questioning. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation letter | Have your first night's hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. Officers at Nadi Airport occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A printed booking confirmation works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Carry at least 500 FJD (around $220 USD) in cash or have a credit card with available balance. Immigration may ask how you'll support yourself for up to 120 days. A bank statement or card with a decent limit covers this. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Fiji immigration checks your passport validity from the day you arrive, not your departure date. If you have less than 6 months left, you will be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry at the border.
No visa needed, but have your return ticket ready
Swedes get 120 days visa-free, but immigration officers routinely ask for proof of onward travel. A screenshot of your return flight on your phone is fine — just make sure it's easy to find.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before departure
Check your passport validity (6+ months from arrival), print or screenshot your return ticket, and save your first night's accommodation confirmation. No visa application needed.
2
Arrive at Nadi or Suva airport
Most flights land at Nadi International Airport (NAN). Follow signs to 'Immigration' — it's a straightforward queue. Have your passport and return ticket ready.
3
Present your documents to the immigration officer
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask how long you're staying and where you're staying. Answer clearly. They'll stamp your passport with a visitor permit valid for up to 120 days.
4
Collect your luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel, then walk through customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel.

Frequently asked questions
No, the 120-day visa-free stay is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave Fiji and re-enter, or apply for a different visa type before your 120 days are up.
If you're transiting and staying airside (not passing through immigration), you don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the airport, you'll need to meet the same visa-free entry requirements.
You'll be denied entry. Renew your passport before you travel. The 6 months is counted from your arrival date in Fiji, not your departure.
It's not a formal requirement, but immigration officers may ask how you'll support yourself during your stay. Having a credit card or a bank statement on your phone is usually enough.
No. The 120-day visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, or short visits. For work or study, you need to apply for the appropriate visa before you travel.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You may be fined, detained, or banned from re-entering Fiji. Always leave before your permit expires.
