South Korea to Fiji visa requirements

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

You are granted a Visitor Permit valid for up to four months on arrival. It can be extended once by up to two more months if you apply before it expires.

Q: Is there a fee for entering Fiji as a tourist?

No. The Visitor Permit is issued free of charge at the port of entry. A fee of FJD 93.00 applies only if you later extend your stay.

Q: What documents do I need on arrival in Fiji?

A passport valid for at least six months beyond your stay, a confirmed return or onward ticket, proof of sufficient funds, and accommodation details. A completed arrival card is also required.

Q: Can I work in Fiji on the visitor permit?

No. The Visitor Permit is for tourism and short visits only. Employment, study, or residence require a separate permit or visa obtained in advance.

Q: Does Fiji use ETIAS or the Schengen 90/180 rule?

No. Fiji is not in the Schengen area or the EU, so ETIAS and the Schengen 90/180 rule do not apply. Fiji uses its own Visitor Permit system.

South Korean ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Fiji. South Korea is on Fiji's visa-exempt list, so you receive a free Visitor Permit on arrival valid for up to 4 months. As of 2026, the Republic of Korea is listed among Fiji's visa-exempted countries by the Fiji Ministry of Immigration. South Korean ordinary passport holders traveling for tourism or a short visit are granted a Visitor Permit at the port of entry, issued at no charge, valid for a stay of up to four months. No advance visa, eVisa, or pre-arrival authorization is required. Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended period of stay, a confirmed return or onward ticket, and proof of sufficient funds and accommodation, which immigration officers may request on arrival. The initial permit can be extended once by up to two additional months by applying to the Ministry of Immigration before expiry (extension fee FJD 93.00); no further extension is possible beyond that. Fiji is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
