Do Fijian citizens need a New Zealand Visitor Visa?

Yes, Fijian citizens planning to visit New Zealand must first get a visa.

The New Zealand Visitor Visa is ideal for Fijians traveling to New Zealand for tourism, visiting family and friends, or participating in amateur sports or adventure activities. Depending on the type of visa issued, you can stay for up to 9 months on a single-entry visa or up to 6 months on a multiple-entry visa within a 12-month period.

To be eligible for the Visitor Visa, you must show that you have genuine intentions as a tourist. This means evidence of sufficient ties to your home country, such as a job or family. You also need to show that you have enough funds to support your stay in New Zealand. For a detailed breakdown of the visa requirements, please visit the New Zealand Immigration website.

As a Fijian national, you’re eligible for a New Zealand ETA if you meet one of the following conditions:

• You’re a permanent resident of Australia.

• You’re transiting through New Zealand to or from Australia via Auckland International Airport.

• You arrive in New Zealand on a cruise ship.
