Visa requirements for Fijian citizens

Fijian citizens need a Schengen visa, which covers all member states for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Of the 198 countries whose entry rules are known in both directions, Fiji and 52 of them let each other’s citizens in without a visa obtained in advance (visa-free, on arrival or with an ETA; an e-visa counts as a visa).

60 countries ask holders of the Fijian passport for a visa beforehand, although their own citizens enter Fiji without one: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Botswana, Brunei and 55 others.

The reverse holds for 29 countries: holders of the Fijian passport get in without a visa obtained in advance, but their citizens need one for Fiji (Angola, Burundi, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Comoros and 24 others).

72 countries ask holders of the Fijian passport for a visa obtained before travel from an embassy, a consulate or a visa centre. 8 of them have an embassy or consulate on record in Fiji.

64 countries have no embassy or career consulate on record in Fiji, so the application usually goes to one of their posts in another country. Counting the post an official diplomatic list names for Fiji, or else the nearest one within 2,000 km, those posts are most often in New Zealand (3).

The United States refused 33% of visitor-visa (B1/B2) applications from citizens of Fiji in fiscal year 2025, by the State Department’s adjusted refusal rate. 100 of the 197 nationalities with a published rate had a lower one and 96 a higher one; the middle value was 32%.

Visa-free travel with the Fijian passport

By continent, the Fijian passport is visa-free in 21 countries in the Americas, 11 countries in Asia, 11 countries in Africa, 3 countries in Europe and 3 countries in Oceania. The longest visa-free stays for Fijian citizens are allowed in Antigua and Barbuda (180 days), Barbados (180 days), Peru (180 days), El Salvador (180 days), Vanuatu (120 days) and the United Arab Emirates (90 days).

Visa on arrival

Fijian citizens can get a visa at the airport or land border of Burundi, Cambodia, Cape Verde, the Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Guinea-Bissau and 21 others.

E-Visa and electronic travel authorisation

An e-Visa, applied for online before the trip, is how Fijian citizens enter Albania, Armenia, Australia, Bahrain, Benin, Bhutan, Bolivia and 38 others. Israel, Ivory Coast, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Suriname ask instead for an electronic travel authorisation (ETA), a lighter online check than a visa.

How the passport compares

Of the 198 passports in the data, 112 can enter visa-free and 86 need a visa from an embassy or consulate for Fiji.
