Fiji Visa for United States Citizens 2026

Visa Free

US citizens do not need a visa for Fiji and can stay visa-free for up to 120 days using just a valid passport and proof of onward travel.

Guide last updated October 1, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Valid US passport (valid for the duration of stay)
  • Proof of onward/return travel
  • Proof of accommodation
  • Proof of sufficient funds (occasionally checked)
  • No visa, biometrics, or photo required for entry
  • Travel health insurance recommended, especially for remote island travel

Visa types

  • No visa required for tourism — visa-free entry for up to 120 days
  • Work, study, or long-term stays require a specific permit applied for through Fiji's Department of Immigration before or shortly after arrival
  • Extensions within the 120-day window, or short additional stays, can be requested from the Department of Immigration in Suva

Entry conditions

  • Visa-free stay: up to 120 days per visit
  • No work permitted on a visitor entry
  • Present passport and arrival card (usually distributed on the flight) at immigration
  • Extensions beyond 120 days require an application and are not guaranteed — plan your trip length in advance

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee for the 120-day visa-free entry
  • Fiji's departure tax is included in most airline tickets as a Passenger Facilitation Fee (around FJD 20-30 equivalent)
  • No service/VFS fees since no visa application is needed
  • Total cost: USD 0 for entry
  • Processing time: a few minutes at the immigration desk on arrival

Tips for United States travelers

  • Keep your return ticket accessible — Fiji immigration can be strict about checking onward travel proof
  • If diving or island-hopping, confirm inter-island transfers don't require re-clearing immigration (domestic flights/ferries generally don't)
  • For extensions, visit the Department of Immigration office in Suva well before your 120 days are up, as processing can take several business days
  • Budget cash for small island resorts and local markets where cards aren't always accepted
