Do United Kingdom passport holders need a visa to visit FJ?

Q: How long can I stay in Fiji as a UK tourist?

Up to 4 months per entry. You can apply once for a 2-month extension before it expires, for a maximum of 6 months.

Q: Is there a fee for entering Fiji?

No. The Visitors Permit is issued free on arrival. Only if you extend your stay do you pay an extension fee of FJ$93.

Q: How long must my passport be valid?

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after your date of arrival in Fiji.

Q: Can I work or do business on the Visitors Permit?

No. The permit is for tourism and short visits only. Business travel requires a business visitors permit, and employment requires a work permit.

Q: Do I need an onward ticket?

Yes. Immigration can ask for a confirmed return or onward ticket, plus proof of accommodation and funds, before granting entry.

No. UK ordinary passport holders do not need a visa for tourism in Fiji. You receive a free Visitors Permit on arrival valid for up to 4 months. British citizens holding an ordinary passport are visa-exempt for short visits to Fiji. On arrival at any Fiji port of entry, immigration officers issue a free Visitors Permit valid for up to 4 months for tourism and short visits. No advance visa, eVisa, or ETA is required. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival, and you should be prepared to show an onward or return ticket and proof of accommodation/funds. The permit covers tourism only - it does not allow employment, paid volunteering, or business activity (a separate business visitors permit applies). If you wish to stay longer, the permit can be extended once, by up to 2 months, by applying to the Fiji Ministry of Immigration before it expires (extension fee FJ$93), for a total maximum stay of 6 months. This visa-free arrangement has been stable; there is no eVisa or ETA scheme for UK tourists as of May 2026.
