Do You Need a Visa to Visit Fiji?
Most visitors to Fiji do not need to obtain a visa in advance. Citizens of over 100 countries — including Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and all EU member states — receive a free visitor’s permit on arrival, valid for four months (120 days). Fiji is one of the most accessible destinations in the Pacific for international travellers.
Fiji Visa on Arrival — Who Qualifies?
Citizens of most Western nations, including all major English-speaking countries and the European Union, receive a complimentary 4-month visitor’s permit at the port of entry — Nadi International Airport for most arrivals. This can be extended through the Fiji Immigration Department if needed.

Health Entry Requirements for Fiji 2026
As of 2026, Fiji has no mandatory vaccination requirements for entry for most nationalities. However, if you are travelling from a yellow fever endemic country, yellow fever vaccination proof may be required. We recommend consulting a travel medicine clinic before your trip and ensuring you are up to date with routine vaccinations.
Customs and Import Restrictions
Fiji has strict biosecurity laws to protect its unique ecosystem. Do not bring fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, seeds, or soil into Fiji. Declare all food items on your arrival card. Failure to declare can result in significant fines. Most resorts will guide you on what is and isn’t permitted to bring to outer islands.
Fiji for Long-Term Residents and Investors
For those interested in living in, investing in, or retiring to Fiji, the government offers several pathways including the Fiji Investor Visa and Fiji Retirement Visa. These require a more formal application process and proof of investment or income. QOM’s advisory team can provide guidance on long-term Fiji residency options.
