Fiji visas
Whether you need a visa for Fiji depends on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. Nationals of visa-exempt countries are generally granted a visitor permit on arrival, while nationals of non-exempt countries and anyone coming to work, study, invest or settle must obtain the correct visa or permit in advance. All entry authorities are administered by the Fiji Ministry of Immigration (Department of Immigration), with online applications lodged through its IMMIHUB portal.
