France to Fiji visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in Fiji without a visa?

Up to 4 months per entry. You can extend once for up to 2 months, but your total stay cannot exceed 6 months.

Q: Is the Visitor Permit free?

Yes, it is issued free of charge at the airport. Only the optional extension carries a fee (around FJD 93).

Q: What documents do I need at immigration?

A passport valid for at least 6 months with a blank page, a confirmed return or onward ticket, proof of sufficient funds, and a completed arrival card.

Q: Does ETIAS or the Schengen 90/180 rule apply to my Fiji trip?

No. Fiji is not in the Schengen area. ETIAS and the EU 90/180 rule govern non-EU travelers entering Schengen and do not affect a French citizen traveling to Fiji.

Q: Can I work in Fiji on the Visitor Permit?

No. The Visitor Permit is for holidays and visits only. Paid work or study requires a separate work or study permit.

French ordinary passport holders do not need a visa for Fiji. You receive a Visitor Permit free on arrival, valid for up to 4 months for tourism. France is on Fiji's list of visa-exempted countries. As a French ordinary passport holder traveling for tourism or to visit friends and family, you do not apply for a visa in advance. On arrival at Nadi or Nausori airport, an immigration officer issues a Visitor Permit free of charge, normally for the length of your stay up to a maximum of 4 months. To be admitted you must hold a passport valid for at least 6 months with a blank page, a confirmed onward or return ticket, proof of sufficient funds, and have no purpose other than a genuine short visit (no paid work). The permit can be extended once for up to 2 months (paid, applied online before expiry), but total stay may not exceed 6 months. Fiji is not in the Schengen area and the EU 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to entering Fiji; ETIAS concerns non-EU visitors entering the Schengen zone, which does not affect a French citizen heading to Fiji.
