In-Depth Information
Electricity
Fiji's electrical current is 220-240 volts (50Hz) with a
three-pin plug
common with Aus-
tralia and New Zealand. Fluctuation in current and surges are common, especially in the outer
islands where electricity is run by diesel generator, so it's advisable to have a
surge protect-
or
if using electrical equipment. In many resorts, 110 volt outlets for shavers and hairdryers
are provided.
Entry requirements
All visitors to Fiji must hold a valid passport for at least six months beyond the intended
period of stay, and proof of onward travel to another country. Adhering to the above, a four-
month
tourist visa
is issued on arrival to most nationals including those of Australia, New
Zealand, South Africa, the US, Canada and EU member states. For a complete list, check the
Fiji Visitor Bureau website (
fiji.travel
).
A maximum
two-month visa extension
may be made on application with the Immigration
Department at Nadi Airport or Suva, but there are no provisions for stays beyond six months
for any overseas nationals unless obtaining resident status or work/student visas.
All visitors are required to fill out standard immigration cards upon arrival. The card must
be surrendered to Fiji immigration authorities upon departure.
