Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must leave Fiji and re-enter, or apply for a different visa type before your current permit expires. Overstaying can result in fines or deportation.
If you're transiting through Fiji and staying airside (not passing immigration), you don't need a visa. But if you need to clear immigration to switch airports or stay overnight, the same visa-free rules apply — up to 120 days.
You will likely be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry by Fijian immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. No exceptions are commonly granted.
No, there is no formal proof of funds requirement for Uruguayan passport holders. However, immigration may ask how you'll support yourself during your stay — having a credit card or cash handy is wise.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, or short-term visits only. For work or study, you must apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You may be fined, detained, or banned from re-entering Fiji. Always leave before your permit expires or apply for an extension (if eligible) well in advance.
No, departure tax is included in your airline ticket price. You don't need to pay anything extra at the airport.
