What Travellers Should Know
Visa requirements
Visa requirements depend on nationality. Citizens of many countries can visit Fiji without obtaining a visa in advance, while travellers from visa-required countries must obtain the appropriate permission before travelling.
Passport requirements
Travellers should check the requirements applying to their nationality. Current entry guidance generally requires visitors to have a passport valid for at least six months after arrival.
Return or onward ticket
Immigration officials may require visitors to show evidence of an onward or return journey. Travellers should also have the appropriate entry permission for their next destination.
Yellow fever
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for travellers arriving from a country classified as having a risk of yellow fever transmission.
Customs and biosecurity
Fiji has strict customs and quarantine rules. Food, plants, animal products and other restricted items should be declared on arrival. Luggage can be inspected or X-rayed by customs and biosecurity authorities.
Weather
Fiji is exposed to tropical storms, cyclones, heavy rain and flooding at certain times of year. Travellers should monitor the Fiji Meteorological Service, particularly during the tropical cyclone season.
Inter-island travel
Domestic flights and ferries connect Fiji’s islands. Sea conditions can affect smaller vessels, so travellers planning boat journeys should check local marine forecasts before departure.
Crime
Petty theft, robbery and other crime can occur, particularly in urban and tourist areas. Travellers should take normal precautions with valuables and avoid isolated areas after dark.

Before You Travel
Check your airline, passport and visa requirements before departure.
Make sure you have an onward or return ticket and any visa required for the country you intend to visit after Fiji.
Declare food, plant and animal products when entering Fiji because the country has strict quarantine and biosecurity controls.
If travelling between islands by ferry or smaller vessel, check the marine forecast before departure because rough seas can affect inter-island transport even when international flights are operating normally.
Monitor the Fiji Meteorological Service before and during your trip, particularly during periods of heavy rain or tropical cyclone activity.
