Do you need an onward ticket for Fiji?

Fiji may require tourists to show proof of onward travel for certain visitors. Here is what to know before you fly.

Short answer

Proof of onward travel may be required. Fiji's Department of Immigration and airlines flying to Fiji may ask for a return or onward ticket at check-in or on arrival, particularly for visitors entering on a visa on arrival or visa exemption.

When proof may be requested

  • At check-in for your flight to Fiji — the airline verifies entry requirements.
  • At the immigration counter on arrival in Fiji.
  • When applying for a visa or a visa extension.

What is accepted as proof

A verifiable flight reservation with a PNR is typically accepted. The reservation should show a departure from Fiji within the permitted stay. ExitPass provides a real, verifiable reservation that can be checked on the airline's website.

Important variables

  • Fiji grants visa-free entry to selected nationalities for a stay that depends on nationality.
  • A visa on arrival is available for some nationalities, with a validity that depends on nationality.
  • The airline you fly with may enforce the requirement differently.
  • If you are transiting through another country, that country's rules may also apply.

What to do if the agent asks for proof

Present your TravelPass document, which includes your PNR and flight itinerary. The agent can verify the PNR in the airline system. If you are asked for a return ticket specifically, the onward reservation shows a planned departure, which is what the requirement is about.
