A visa and entry permission are separate
Fiji issues a Visitor Permit during immigration clearance. Visa-exempt passport holders can travel without a pre-entry visa; other passport holders must obtain a visa first and receive a Visitor Permit only if they meet the entry conditions. Visa approval does not guarantee admission.
Official guidanceA holiday Visitor Permit does not allow work
Fiji says a holiday Visitor Permit cannot be used to look for employment or work. Arrange a permit that matches any work, study or residence plans before travel.
If you need more time in Fiji
An eligible holiday Visitor Permit may be extended once for two months while it remains valid. Fiji currently lists a FJD 93 extension fee; business visitors and some 30-day permit categories are excluded. Apply through the official procedure before the current permission expires.
Official guidancePractical tips for Fiji
Small preparation steps to keep your travel information within reach.
Check the period granted at the border
Fiji says a Visitor Permit may cover several days up to four months, and the period can vary. Follow the dates on your own grant; the general maximum is not a guaranteed stay.
Check visa validity separately from your stay
Fiji lists a single-entry visa as valid for three months and a multiple-entry visa for twelve months from issue. Each entry’s Visitor Permit sets a separate stay limit, up to four months; check the dates and entry count on the visa you receive.
Keep the payment instructions and FID reference
After a successful online application, Fiji Immigration says it emails an FID number for follow-up and bank payment instructions. Keep that reference and follow the instructions in the email; payment confirmation can take several working days.
