Fiji’s immigration policy is one of the most traveler-friendly in the South Pacific. Here is everything you need to know about visiting Fiji without a pre-arranged visa.
What Does “Visa-Exempt” Actually Mean?
If you hold a passport from a visa-exempt country, you do not need to apply for a visa at an embassy or online before you fly. Instead, upon arrival at Nadi or Nausori International Airport, you will be granted a Visitor Permit automatically.
- Duration: This permit is typically valid for up to 4 months.
- Cost: There is no fee for this initial 4-month permit on arrival.
- Purpose: This is strictly for tourism, visiting family/friends, or short-term study. It does not allow you to work or start a business of which you’ll need a different permit.
