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 from your departure date from Fiji. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa-free entry | Immigration officers at Nadi Airport always ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have your hotel reservation or host's address ready. Immigration may ask where you're staying — a printed booking confirmation or a screenshot on your phone works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough funds for your stay. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do, a recent statement or a cash amount of around FJD 500 per week covers it. | Recommended |
No arrival declaration needed
Fiji does not require an online arrival declaration or health form for Austrian passport holders. Just show up with your documents.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check the 6-month rule before boarding. If your passport expires sooner, you won't be allowed to fly. Renew well in advance.
