Do UAE passport holders need a visa to visit FJ?
United Arab Emirates ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourist trips to Fiji. They receive a free visitor permit on arrival valid for up to 4 months. Fiji grants visa-free entry to United Arab Emirates ordinary passport holders for tourism and short visits. The UAE appears on Fiji's official list of visa-exempt countries (Ministry of Immigration), and a Fiji-UAE Memorandum of Understanding on mutual visa exemption reinforces this arrangement. On arrival, UAE nationals are issued a visitor permit at no cost, valid for stays of up to 4 months, with the possibility of extending the stay by 2 months up to a 6-month maximum. No pre-arranged visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival fee is required for genuine tourist travel. Travelers must still meet standard entry conditions: a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended departure date with a blank page, a confirmed onward or return ticket, proof of sufficient funds for the stay, and confirmed accommodation. The visitor permit covers tourism and short visits only; work, study, or business activities require a separate permit. Fiji is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS are not relevant to this route.
