Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Fiji | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity remaining from the day you leave Fiji. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Carry a photocopy of your passport bio page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Fiji | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket at the border. A flight booking confirmation or e-ticket showing you leave within 120 days works. Without one, expect to buy a ticket on the spot or be refused entry. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a printed or digital hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter of invitation from your host in Fiji. Immigration may ask where you are staying on arrival. A simple Booking.com confirmation is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Carry a bank statement, credit card, or cash equivalent to roughly 500 FJD per week of your stay. Immigration officers rarely ask, but if they do, a recent bank statement on your phone suffices. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from arrival
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Fiji, not from your departure date. Double-check before you fly.
Visa-free for 120 days
Israeli passport holders get a full 120-day stay without a visa. That's plenty of time to explore the islands or work remotely.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Nadi or Suva airport
You'll land at Nadi International Airport (most common) or Nausori Airport near Suva. Follow signs to 'Immigration' — it's usually a short walk from the gate.
2
Queue at immigration counter
Join the 'Foreign Passports' line. Have your passport, return ticket (screenshot or printed), and accommodation confirmation ready. The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, head to baggage claim. Then proceed through customs — declare any food, plants, or large amounts of cash. Exit into the arrivals hall.
