In welcome news for travellers to Fiji, fully vaccinated visitors will no longer be required to produce a COVID-19 pre-departure PCR or RAT test.

The change applies to all international visitors entering Fiji by air or sea and will save costs for travellers, making travelling to the Pacific Island destination that much easier.

From Sunday, all international travellers entering Fiji now only need to follow the below entry requirements:

  • Be fully vaccinated if you are 16 years old and above with a Fiji recognised dose
  • Have trusted travel insurance with COVID-19 coverage
  • Australia does not currently require a pre-departure test upon return from Fiji

“This is yet another significant step for Fiji, making it easier than ever to travel to our idyllic shores from around the globe,” Brent Hill, Tourism Fiji CEO said.

“The Fijian Government has continued to respond to data and science and moved quickly to make these changes, as more countries around the world also relaxed their protocols. There has never been a better, simpler time to come to Fiji than now.”

Known for its white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, year-round tropical warmth and world-renowned hospitality, Fiji has welcomed more than 100,000 international visitors since its borders opened back up in December 2021.

As Fiji continues to update and simplify entry requirements, travellers from around the globe will be able to enjoy a famous Fiji holiday and experience everything the country is known for.
