Passport for Entering Fiji

One of the most essential travel documents you need for Fiji is, of course, your passport.

Passports from visa-exempt countries are accepted for visiting Fiji. Those not from a visa-exempt country must obtain a Visitor Permit. Passports must be valid for at least six months after the date you intend to leave Fiji. In other words, the date that you state on your Passenger Arrival Card.

Do You Need a Visa?

A Visitor Permit is automatically granted upon entry to Fiji to passport holders from visa-exempt countries, as long as they meet the entry requirements. Find out more in our guide, Fiji Tourist Visa: Do You Need a Visa to Visit Fiji?

If you are arriving in Fiji with a permit for work, study or business, for example, you will need evidence of these types of visas.

Arrival and Departure Flight Tickets/Booking Information

Another important travel document for Fiji is the paperwork for your flights to and from Fiji.

Ticket/Booking Information for Your Arrival Flight to Fiji

After booking your flight to Fiji, you should have received an email detailing your booking reference, departure time, etc. This is sometimes called an “E-Ticket”. Print this out and save a digital copy so you can provide this to airport staff on check-in for your flight to Fiji.

After check-in at the airport, you will be provided with a Boarding Pass, listing your name, seat number, etc. Don’t lose it!

Ticket/Booking Information for Your Departure Flight From Fiji

In the same email, if you have booked a return flight from Fiji, you should also have your return flight details. If you have booked a separate flight or travel ticket departing from Fiji, you will need to print and/or have a digital copy of this evidence, as it is a mandatory entry requirement in Fiji to have a valid outbound travel ticket.

Passenger Arrival Card + Accommodation Details

On your flight to Fiji, airline staff will hand out the Fiji Passenger Arrival Card for you to complete and give to Customs on arrival. The travel documents already discussed in the guide, such as your passport and flight boarding pass, will provide you with all the information you need to complete the Passenger Arrival Card. One additional piece of information that you need to provide on the card is the details of your “Intended address in Fiji (for visitors only)”.

The Passenger Arrival Card requires you to at least know the name of your accommodation if staying at a commercial accommodation. If you’re not staying in commercial accommodation, provide the address of your accommodation. Make sure you have this information readily available to complete the Passenger Arrival Card.

Other Travel Documents You May Need for Fiji

All of the documents detailed above are mandatory for travel to Fiji unless stated otherwise. The following travel documents and paperwork are optional or only apply to specific situations.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance ensures financial cover in the event that travel plans need to be changed, theft or loss of personal items, you need medical attention, etc. Travel insurance policies cover (and don’t cover) a range of circumstances where you otherwise might have significant expenses. The most comprehensive travel protection we’ve found is Global Rescue, which not only offers insurance policy add-ons but actually does the repatriation work themselves. Either way, travel insurance is a personal decision, so if you decide to go for it, make sure you have your policy paperwork and certificate.

Driver’s License (and International Driving Permit)

If you want to hire a vehicle in Fiji, then you’re going to need your valid overseas driver’s license. Check out Can You Drive in Fiji With an Overseas License? to see what driver’s licenses are accepted in Fiji.

Medical Prescription

If you’re bringing the prescribed medication to Fiji, be sure that you have evidence that the medication has been prescribed to you. Usually, the original packaging for the medication with your name and doctor’s name is sufficient. But if you don’t have this available, a copy of your prescription or a doctor’s letter will suffice.

Arriving in Fiji by Personal Boat/Yacht

Those arriving in Fiji on a personal sailing yacht need to provide additional paperwork for entering and departing Fiji. All of this is detailed in the Sailing Guide to Fiji: Tips for Yachting.
