    Required

    Recent (less than 6 months old), good-quality colour passport photos, full-face view of your head and shoulders, taken against a plain or light-coloured background. The Ministry's own pages give two different counts for the same checklist, two in one place, three in another, so bring at least two and ideally three.

  • Visitor permit issued on arrival

    Required

    At immigration clearance you'll be issued a visitor permit, whether or not you needed a visa, allowing a stay of up to 4 months. It can be extended by a further 2 months if you apply and pay the extension fee (published as $93.00) before it expires.

Other

    If you need a visa, complete the prescribed Application for a Visitor Visa for Fiji and apply at least 3 months before you plan to travel, directly or through the IMMIHUB online portal.

  • Consent letters and proof of relationship, where they apply

    Required

    A consent letter from your spouse if you're travelling alone, or from your parents if you're 18 or under and travelling alone. If you're travelling with a companion, proof of your relationship (e.g. a marriage or birth certificate) may also be requested.

  • Translated copies of non-English documents

    Required

    Certified English translations, done by a registered translator, of any supporting documents not already in English.

  • Visa-exempt entry or a pre-approved visa

    Required

    If your nationality is on Fiji's visa-exempt list, you don't need a visa, you'll get a visitor permit at immigration clearance on arrival instead. If it isn't, you need a Single Entry Visa (SEV) or Multiple Entry Visa (MEV) approved before you travel; a visa is a pre-entry authority that lets you reach the border but doesn't by itself guarantee entry.

Why applications on this route get refused

  • Character concerns

    Fiji will not grant a visa or permit where there's a risk you'll engage in criminal conduct, harass, molest, intimidate or stalk someone, vilify a segment of the Fijian community, incite discord in it, or otherwise be a danger to it.

    How to avoid it: This is a conduct assessment, not a document you submit, travel with a clean record and answer application questions honestly.

  • Health concerns

    Permit applications require health information. Fiji can refuse a visa or permit if you have a disease or condition that threatens public health, would create significant health-care or community-service costs, or would draw on services already in short supply for Fijian citizens.

    How to avoid it: Answer the health information section accurately, and check current requirements ahead of travel if you have an ongoing condition.

  • Incomplete or unverifiable visa application

    The Ministry notes that processing is delayed when applications are submitted incomplete or need further clarification, additional documentation, or verification.

    How to avoid it: Submit every item on the documentary checklist for your travel purpose, in the format asked for (certified copies, registered-translator translations where needed), well ahead of your trip.

Every report is personal: a document check is built from one person's own answers and documents, so two people on this route can get different results. Run your own check rather than relying on a friend's or relative's; each person is responsible for their own application.
