Planning a long layover at Nadi International Airport? Before exploring Fiji’s stunning landscapes or indulging in its warm hospitality, make sure you’re aware of the visa requirements.
Do You Need a Visa?
Visa-Exempt Countries: Travelers from visa-exempt countries, including Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Japan, India, and the United Kingdom, do not require a visa for short stays or transits. Check our [full list of visa-exempt countries](Immigration Visa Info) to confirm your eligibility.
Transit Visa: If you’re not from a visa-exempt country and plan to leave the airport during your layover, a transit visa is required. This visa allows you to explore Fiji while in transit.
How to Apply for a Transit Visa
Applying for a transit visa is quick and easy. Here’s what you’ll need:
- A completed visa application form (available on the Fiji Immigration website).
- Two passport-sized photos.
- A copy of your passport (valid for at least 6 months).
- Proof of onward travel and a visa for your next destination.
Submit your application to the Fiji Immigration office before your travel dates. Processing times may vary, so it’s recommended to apply early.
