Fiji Visa Application Process
Unless you’re from one of the visa-exempt countries, you’ll need to obtain travel authorisation from a Fijian diplomatic mission abroad.
You can find out if you need a visa using our eligibility tool or consult our list below:
Travellers requiring authorisation will need to gather the required documents (see a full list of these in the form and documents section) and submit them at the Fijan embassy or consulate closest to you.
The type of visa you will apply for depends on the nature of your visit and how long you are looking to stay on the island.
There are 2 types of visa, one for a single visit or one for multiple. Single-visit visas are for 1 visit within 3 months. Multiple visit visas are good for multiple visits over a period of 12 months. The paperwork required depends on the visit type and must be done prior to travel.
