Apply for the Fiji Single-entry Visa online and get expert guidance — processed by Fiji Immigration with approval endorsed in your passport or issued as an approval letter.
What Is the Fiji Single-entry Visa?
The Fiji Single-entry Visa is a pre-entry visitor visa issued by the Fiji Ministry of Immigration for nationals who are not listed on Fiji’s visa‑exempt roster. The Single-entry Visa (SEV) is a short‑term travel permit that must be applied for and approved before travel when your nationality does not qualify for visa‑free entry. Fiji’s Immigration Division administers visa types, application forms and approvals through local Immigration offices, Fiji diplomatic missions, and the IMMI HUB portal.
Applications are submitted to the Fiji Immigration Department via the official visa application channels (see immigration.gov.fj/fiji-visas) or at a Fiji Embassy/High Commission. On approval, the visa will be either endorsed in your passport or issued as a formal visa approval letter which you should carry when you travel. Processing guidelines on the Immigration site note standard processing times and documentary requirements; many applicants receive a response within the processing window after the application is received.
The Fiji Single-entry Visa is an entry authorization — it does not guarantee admission. Immigration officers at the port of entry make the final decision on landing based on your passport, proof of onward travel, accommodation and ability to support your visit. Recent administrative updates to customs and prohibited imports (including new provisions effective 1 August 2025) affect what you can bring into Fiji and how luggage is inspected; consult official guidance before travelling.

You must show a confirmed return or onward ticket, proof of pre-booked accommodation or local sponsor details, and proof of sufficient funds for your stay. Fiji Immigration lists documentary requirements on their visa pages: immigration.gov.fj.

While travel insurance is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended — medical facilities outside main centres are limited. Follow CDC vaccine recommendations (MMR, Hepatitis A/B) and get pre‑travel medical advice where necessary.
Travel Tips for Fiji Visitors
Fiji is an archipelago of more than 300 islands in the South Pacific. Most international travellers arrive through Nadi, with domestic connections to smaller islands.
- Main international airports: Nadi International Airport (NAN) and Nausori / Suva (SUV) — most international flights arrive at NAN.
- Currency: Fijian Dollar (FJD). Many hotels and tourist businesses accept major credit cards; declare cash worth 10,000 FJD or more.
- Language: English is an official language and widely spoken; Fijian and Fiji Hindi are also used.
- Time zone: Fiji Standard Time (FJT) — UTC+12 (seasonal changes may apply).
- Best time to visit: May to October offers drier weather and calmer seas; cyclone season peaks November–April.
- Transport: Transfers from Nadi to resort islands are by domestic flight, ferry or boat — confirm meeting times with your resort or port authority.
- Customs: Quarantine laws are strict — fresh food, plants and animal products are commonly confiscated.
- Local customs: Dress modestly when visiting villages and follow guidance from hosts; ask before photographing people in rural communities.
