Description

Swiss citizens can visit Fiji without obtaining a visa for short stays. Entry is granted on arrival with a visitor permit, which allows a stay of up to 4 months. No advance government application is required, but travelers must meet entry requirements and carry the proper documentation. Our Travel Authorisation Fiji service ensures Swiss travelers understand these rules, avoid overstays, and enjoy a smooth trip to the islands.

Entry process and timing:
On arrival in Fiji, Swiss citizens receive a visitor permit stamp in their passport. Immigration officers may ask to see proof of onward or return travel and details of accommodation. The initial stay is generally valid for 4 months. Travelers should ensure their passports are properly stamped, as this serves as official proof of their legal stay.

Entry requirements for Swiss citizens include:

A valid Swiss passport with at least six months’ validity beyond the intended stay
Proof of onward or return travel
Evidence of accommodation (hotel booking or host invitation)
Proof of sufficient funds for the duration of the visit

Health and insurance requirements:

No mandatory vaccinations if traveling directly from Switzerland
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if arriving from or transiting through a country with yellow fever risk
COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted, though health checks remain possible at ports of entry
Comprehensive travel insurance covering medical treatment, hospitalization, and repatriation is strongly recommended

Customs and border rules:

Currency over FJ $10,000 (≈ US $5,000) or equivalent must be declared
Strict biosecurity rules apply to food, plants, and animal products; undeclared items can be confiscated and fines imposed
Duty-free allowances apply for alcohol, tobacco, and personal items

Stay limits and extensions:
Swiss travelers may stay in Fiji for up to 4 months visa-free under the visitor permit. Extensions of up to an additional 2 months may be requested at the Fiji Immigration Department, provided the application is made before the initial permit expires. Overstaying can result in fines or removal orders.
