Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Fiji. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires before you leave Fiji, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Fiji | Immigration officers at Nadi Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. If you don't have one, they may deny entry or require you to buy a ticket on the spot. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Fiji ready. Officers sometimes ask for it, especially if you're arriving without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough money for your stay. Immigration may ask for this if you look like you might work or overstay. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from arrival date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Fiji, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew before you go.
No extension possible
The 120-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. Overstaying can result in fines, detention, or a ban from re-entering Fiji.
