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 remaining from your date of entry into Fiji. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Fiji | Immigration officers at Nadi International Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot ready on your phone showing your departure flight within 120 days. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Fiji. Officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have access to at least FJD 500 (around $220 USD) per week of your stay. A bank statement or credit card with available limit works — officers rarely ask, but it is better to have it ready. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you arrive in Fiji. Airlines check this before boarding, and immigration checks it on arrival. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be turned away.
No visa, but have proof of onward travel
Even though you don't need a visa, immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a screenshot or printout ready. Without it, you may be refused entry.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before departure
Check your passport validity (6+ months from arrival). Book your return/onward ticket and first night accommodation. Save screenshots or printouts of both. Consider getting travel insurance and a local eSIM.
2
Arrive at Nadi International Airport (or Suva)
Most flights land at Nadi (NAN). After deplaning, follow signs to Immigration. There are usually two queues: one for Fijian citizens/residents and one for foreign visitors. Join the visitor queue.
3
Present your documents to the immigration officer
Hand over your passport and completed arrival card (you'll get it on the plane). The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation details. Answer clearly. They'll stamp your passport with a visitor permit valid for up to 120 days.
4
Collect your luggage and proceed through customs
After immigration, go to baggage claim, then customs. Declare any food, plants, or animal products. Fiji is strict about biosecurity. If you have nothing to declare, use the green lane.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free entry 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. Overstaying can result in fines or deportation.
No, if you're transiting and don't leave the airport, you don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the airport or stay overnight, you'll need to meet the same visa-free entry requirements (valid passport, onward ticket).
You will likely be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry at the border. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced. Renew your passport before traveling.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and short visits only. If you plan to work, study, or volunteer, you must apply for the appropriate visa or permit from a Fijian embassy before you travel.
No online pre-declaration is required. You'll fill out a paper arrival card on the plane before landing. It asks for basic info: flight number, accommodation address, purpose of visit, and whether you're carrying any restricted items.
The local currency is the Fijian dollar (FJD). ATMs are available at Nadi and Suva airports and in major towns. Credit cards are widely accepted in hotels and restaurants. It's a good idea to have some cash for small purchases and taxis.
