Vietnamese passport holders need a visa to enter Fiji. You must arrange this before you travel — there is no visa-on-arrival option for Vietnamese citizens. Plan ahead and apply through the nearest Fijian embassy or consulate.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa for FijiYou cannot get a visa on arrival or use an eVisa; plan ahead and apply at a Fijian diplomatic mission. Apply at an embassy/consulate | Vietnamese passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to Fiji. Fiji does not offer an eVisa for Vietnamese citizens, so you must apply through a Fijian embassy or consulate (or an authorized visa processing service) in advance. Ensure your visa is issued before your departure. | Required |
| Passport validityFiji enforces a 6-month validity rule; if your passport expires sooner, you may be denied boarding. At least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of departure from Fiji. Check your passport's expiry date now and renew if needed. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesImmigration officers need a clean page to stamp your passport. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for entry and exit stamps. Ensure no pages are torn or marked. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketWithout a ticket out of Fiji, you may be refused entry. Proof of departure from Fiji | You must have a confirmed return or onward ticket to a country you are eligible to enter. This is checked by airlines and Fijian immigration. | Required |
| Proof of sufficient fundsCarry bank statements or cash to prove you can support yourself. For your stay | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your accommodation, living expenses, and any other costs during your stay in Fiji. The exact amount is not fixed but should be reasonable for your itinerary. | Recommended |
| Travel insuranceMedical care in Fiji can be costly for visitors; insurance protects you. Recommended for medical and trip coverage | While not mandatory, travel insurance covering medical expenses, trip cancellation, and emergency evacuation is strongly recommended for your visit to Fiji. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationNo separate online arrival form is needed. Not required for Vietnamese citizens | Fiji does not require an arrival declaration for Vietnamese passport holders. You will simply complete the standard immigration and customs forms upon arrival. | Not required |
No visa-on-arrival for Vietnamese citizens
Do not show up at Nadi Airport expecting to get a visa on arrival. You will be refused entry and sent back on the next flight. Get your visa from a Fijian embassy or consulate before you fly.
Apply early — no local embassy in Vietnam
Since Fiji has no embassy in Vietnam, you'll need to mail your application to a regional Fijian mission, such as the High Commission in Kuala Lumpur. Factor in shipping time and potential delays — start the process at least 6–8 weeks before your trip.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Fijian embassy or consulate
Find the Fijian diplomatic mission that covers Vietnam. There is no Fijian embassy in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, so you'll likely need to apply through the Fijian High Commission in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) or another regional office. Email or call them first to confirm your eligibility and get the exact application checklist.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather your passport, completed application form, photos, flight bookings, accommodation proof, bank statements, and any other documents the embassy requests. Make copies of everything for your records.
3
Submit your application
Send your application package by mail or courier to the Fijian embassy or consulate. If you're applying in person, you may need to attend an interview. Pay the visa fee (amount varies by embassy — ask when you apply). Processing typically takes 5–10 working days, but start at least 4 weeks before your trip.
4
Receive your visa and check the details
Once approved, you'll get a visa sticker or a separate visa document. Check that your name, passport number, and validity dates are correct. If anything is wrong, contact the embassy immediately.
5
Travel to Fiji
At the airport in Fiji (usually Nadi International Airport), present your passport with the visa, your return ticket, and proof of accommodation. The immigration officer will stamp your passport and note your allowed stay. Keep your documents handy for the entire trip.
