United States to Fiji visa requirements

US ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit Fiji as tourists. The United States is on Fiji's visa-exempted list, so you receive a free Visitor Permit on arrival valid for up to 4 months (120 days). United States ordinary passport holders enjoy visa-free entry to Fiji for tourism and short visits. The U.S. is among the nationalities on Fiji's official visa-exempted list, so no advance visa or eVisa is required. On arrival at Nadi (NAN) or Nausori (SUV), an immigration officer issues a free Visitor Permit allowing a stay of up to 4 months (120 days). To qualify, your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended departure, and you should be ready to show a confirmed onward or return ticket plus proof of sufficient funds and accommodation. The Visitor Permit can typically be extended in-country by up to 2 additional months (to a 6-month maximum) by applying at a Fiji Immigration office before the permit expires. This visa-free arrangement covers tourism, visiting friends and family, and short business meetings; it does NOT permit paid employment or long-term study. Travelers carrying cash exceeding FJ$10,000 (or the foreign-currency equivalent) must declare it on entry and exit. There is no Fiji-wide arrival tax payable at the airport for visitors, though a departure/service charge is normally already included in your airline ticket. Always carry printed copies of your return ticket and hotel booking, as front-line officers can ask to see them before granting the permit. As of the verification date, no eVisa, ETA, or visa-on-arrival fee applies to U.S. tourists.
