  • Photo spec: recent color passport photo (35x45 mm) with white background; upload requirements vary by the portal (follow on-screen instructions).
  • Biometrics: biometric submission is not required upfront for the eVisa application; you may be asked to provide biometric data at the port of entry if requested.

Application process (How to apply)

  • How to apply online: portal URL: https://www.immigration.gov.fj/
  • Step 1: Create an applicant account on the Fiji Immigration eVisa portal.
  • Step 2: Complete the visa application form with personal details, travel plans, and purpose of visit.
  • Step 3: Upload supporting documents (passport scan, recent photo, travel itinerary, hotel bookings or invitation letter, proof of funds if requested).
  • Step 4: Pay the visa fee online using a credit or debit card.
  • Step 5: Submit the application and await notification from Fiji Immigration via email.
  • Step 6: If approved, print the eVisa approval notice and carry it along with your passport to Fiji; immigration officers will issue the physical entry clearance at the port of entry.

  • How approval arrives: by email as an electronic visa grant, which you should print and present on arrival.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee (online eVisa): around FJD 180–200 (approx USD 90–100) for Tourist Visa; other categories vary (e.g., USD 150–250).
  • Local processing charges: no separate VFS/BLS service fee is required for the official eVisa; if a third-party service is used, their fees apply (not recommended).
  • Total cost estimate: base visa fee plus any portal processing charges if applicable; always verify current amounts on the official portal before paying.
  • Standard processing time: 3–5 working days for eVisa; expedited options may be available with faster processing and an additional fee.
  • Express/priority option: available only if offered by the official portal at the time of application; cost varies by category and turnaround.

Tips for China travelers

  • How far in advance to apply: start the eVisa application at least 2–3 weeks before travel; allow additional time if documents require verification.
  • Common rejection reasons for China applicants specifically: incomplete or inconsistent travel details, passport validity less than 6 months, insufficient funds evidence if requested, missing hotel bookings or invitation letters, or failed biometric data checks at entry.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: Fiji uses the official online eVisa system via immigration.gov.fj; there is typically no separate VFS/BLS outsourcing for Fiji visas; apply directly through the official portal to avoid extra fees.
  • Travel advisories: check the Fiji Government and your own country’s advisories for current health and security notices; ensure compliance with any entry health requirements.
  • Extension options inside Fiji: visa extensions may be possible by applying to Fiji Immigration before your current visa expires; extensions and their eligibility depend on your visa type and current stay circumstances; consult the official portal or immigration office for guidance.
