Typical visitors come to Fiji for the following reasons:

• as tourists
• for medical treatment
• for sporting or other recreational activities
• for the purpose of visiting a relative, or a friend, who is a citizen of the Fiji Islands
• to attend a conference or meeting
• yacht owners/members of a crew of a carrier

Only those arriving for medical treatment or yacht owners/members of a crew of a carrier will need to apply for their permits before arriving in the country. Others will be given visitor permits on Immigration Clearance. This visitor permit will allow a visitor up to 4 months of stay. The stay can further be extended to 2 months if applying for extension and the fee is paid.
