Fidji : à savoir avant de partir

L’essentiel

  • Visa-exempt visitors still need a visitor permit, issued at the border for a period up to 4 calendar months; admission is not automatic.
  • Carry FJD cash for villages, markets and local transport; card surcharges can apply.
  • November–April is cyclone season; check forecasts, flood conditions and your accommodation’s evacuation plan.

Entrée et visas

Visa-exempt nationals can receive a visitor permit on arrival; non-exempt nationals must obtain visa approval before travel. A permit can run from a few days up to four months. Confirm the expiry at entry. A normal visitor permit does not permit employment or study.

Validité du passeport: Immigration FAQ asks for a passport valid for more than 6 months from travel; confirm your route and airline requirements.

À la frontière, on peut vous demander

  • Carry return/onward travel, accommodation details, sufficient-funds evidence and visa approval if required.

Douane

  • Check food, plant, animal, medicine and other restricted-goods rules before packing.
