Thailand visa requirements for Fijian citizens in 2024

Thailand's vibrant culture and stunning landscapes make it a sought-after destination for Fijian travelers. The Thailand Electronic Visa on Arrival (eVOA) system has simplified the entry process significantly in 2024, offering a digital alternative to traditional visa applications.

Indeed, Fijian citizens must have a visa to enter Thailand. However, the Thailand Visa on Arrival presents a convenient route for those visiting for leisure or business. It allows Fijian citizens to receive their Thai visa directly upon arrival at specific entry points, bypassing the need for an embassy visit.

Understanding Thailand visa options for Fijians

• Electronic Visa on Arrival (eVOA)
• Traditional Tourist Visa
• Business Visa options

The Thailand eVOA system has revolutionized travel for Fijian citizens. While the traditional visa application process required embassy visits, the eVOA allows you to complete everything online. We at iVisa have streamlined this process to ensure maximum convenience.

Pro Tip: "Applying for the eVOA at least 72 hours before travel helps avoid any last-minute processing delays. Many travelers appreciate having their visa approved before departure."

Document requirements and application process

Required Documents:

• Valid passport (minimum 6 months validity)

• Return flight ticket

• Proof of accommodation

• Recent passport-style photograph

• Proof of sufficient funds (minimum 10,000 THB per person)

• Provide your travel and contact info on our website or through the iVisa app

• Complete the Thailand Visa on Arrival application form and upload the required documents

• Submit the form and await the confirmation email

While Fiji doesn't host a Thai Embassy or Consulate, Fijian citizens can contact Thai Embassies in New Zealand or Australia. The Embassy of Thailand in Wellington, New Zealand and various consulates in Australia serve Fijian citizens.

Pro Tip: "Many travelers recommend keeping digital copies of all documents on your phone as backup. Immigration officers occasionally request additional documentation."

Extended stay options for Fijian travelers

For Fijian citizens planning longer stays in Thailand, several visa options are available beyond the standard 15-day Visa on Arrival:

• Tourist Visa (up to 60 days)
• Non-Immigrant Visa (90 days)
