Those who plan on visiting Fiji should know about passport and visa requirements prior to their trip to avoid any trouble and stress resulting from not having the appropriate items.

Passport to visit Fiji

Each traveler must have a passport that is valid for at least three months beyond the intended date of departure from Fiji. However, it is strongly advised that travelers have a passport that is valid for six months beyond the date of departure with them at all times.

Most countries, including Fiji, also require that you have blank pages in your passport with an adequate amount of space for the necessary stamps that you may need when entering or departing the country. It is recommended that you have at least two free pages in the visas section of your passport before traveling to any international country. VisaHQ.com can assist U.S. citizens with a variety of passport services, including adding extra passport pages, passport renewal and applying for a new passport.

Along with passports, visitors must hold onto onward or return tickets and sufficient funds to cover their stay, as they will need them when they depart from the country.

Visa to enter Fiji

Those from the US, UK, Canada, Australia and other countries that are within the European Union who plan on staying in Fiji up to four months and who are issued a visitor’s permit upon arrival are not required to have a visa. For business purposes, visitors’ permits are good for stays of up to 14 days. Those from countries that were not referred to should contact the Fiji embassy to check visa requirements.

Visas are valid for stays of up to three months, though if you need them extended, you can send an application to the consular section of high commission or Fiji embassy.

If you need a visa, you can get a single-entry visa for a little over US$73( £45) or a multiple-entry for a little over US$130 (£80).

Also, if you have connecting flights overseas as part of your trip to Fiji, you may need a separate transit visa for some of the countries that you need to pass through to arrive at your destination.
