United Arab Emirates to Fiji visa requirements

UAE ordinary passport holders are visa-free for Fiji. UAE MoFA and the Fiji-UAE MOU support a 90-day planning limit; Fiji Immigration issues visitor permits on arrival for visa-exempt travellers who meet entry conditions and lists a FJD 96 visitor fee at immigration clearance. Fiji lists the United Arab Emirates among visa-exempt countries, and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists normal UAE passports as visa-free for Fiji with tourism stays of 90 days. Fiji Immigration's general visitor guidance says eligible visitors are given a visitor permit on immigration clearance, and Fiji's public visitor-permit pages still describe a general visitor permit of up to 4 months with a possible 2-month extension. Because the UAE-specific MoFA page and the Fiji-UAE mutual visa-exemption MOU state 90 days, travellers should treat 90 days as the route-specific planning limit and confirm directly with Fiji Immigration before relying on a longer general visitor-permit allowance. A visitor trip can cover tourism, transit, visiting family or friends, recreation, and attending a conference or meeting. Work, consultancy, study, investment, or other business activity must use the correct visitor/business provision or permit and be declared at the border; work beyond the short business provision requires a work permit. Standard entry conditions still apply: passport with more than 6 months validity, onward or return travel, sufficient funds, and accommodation or host details. Fiji Immigration's Visit/Transit page lists a FJD 96 requisite fee at immigration clearance for travelers other than medical-treatment arrivals and yacht/crew categories; the official fee table lists FJD 93 for an extension of a visitor's permit.

/02 — The process

How to apply

/01
Confirm the route-specific stay limit
Plan around the UAE MoFA Fiji page's 90-day tourism limit for normal UAE passports. If you intend to stay longer, ask Fiji Immigration before travel because Fiji's general visitor-permit page uses a broader 4-month visitor-permit rule.
· 90 days· Confirm longer stays
/02
Check passport validity
Use a UAE passport valid for more than 6 months. A spare page for entry stamps is practical, but current official sources reviewed do not state a hard blank-page count for this route.
· 6+ months· Passport page recommended
/03
Book onward or return travel
Have a confirmed onward or return ticket out of Fiji. Fiji Immigration lists onward travel as an entry condition for visitors.
· Onward ticket
/04
Prepare supporting documents and fee

· Funds· Accommodation· FJD 96
/05
Declare the correct purpose at the border
Tourism, transit, family visits, recreation, and meetings are visitor purposes. Work, consultancy, study, investment, or other business activity may need the visitor/business provision, a business visitor permit, or a work permit.
