Turkish passport holders can visit Fiji without a visa for up to 120 days. This policy has been stable for years and remains unchanged in 2026. 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 stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity beyond your intended departure from Fiji. Immigration at Nadi Airport checks this strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Fiji | Immigration officers at Nadi Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Without one, you risk being refused entry and put on the next flight out. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a printed or digital hotel reservation ready. Immigration may ask where you're staying — a booking confirmation with your name and dates covers this. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Carry at least FJD 500 (around $220 USD) in cash or have a credit card with available balance. Immigration can ask to see proof you can support yourself without working. | Recommended |
No visa needed, but don't skip the basics
Turkish passport holders get 120 days visa-free, but immigration still checks passport validity (6 months) and onward tickets. Have both ready to avoid delays.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Nadi or Suva airport
Most international flights land at Nadi International Airport (NAN). Suva's airport (SUV) also handles some flights. Follow signs to 'Immigration' after disembarking.
2
Queue at immigration counter
Join the 'Foreign Passports' line. Have your passport, return ticket (printed or on phone), and accommodation confirmation ready. The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After clearing immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel. There's a customs declaration form to fill out on the plane — keep it handy. Then walk through the green 'Nothing to Declare' channel if you have no restricted items.

Frequently asked questions
