Fiji
Travel Guide
ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS: Fiji is a South Pacific
island nation consisting of over 350 islands and islets, of which
approximately 100 are inhabited. On December 5, 2006, the Commander of
Fiji’s military force deposed the lawfully elected government of Fiji and
declared a state of emergency. There is currently an unelected interim
government in place established by the military. The coup has had a
negative effect on Fiji’s economy. Tourist facilities are available. The
capital is Suva.
Proof of sufficient funds, an onward/return ticket, and a passport valid
for at least three months beyond the date of departure from Fiji are
required for entry to Fiji. A visa is not required for tourist stays up to
four months. Yachts wishing to call at the Lau group of islands need
special permission granted at the first port of entry into Fiji. For
further information on entry/exit requirements, travelers may contact the
Embassy of the Republic of Fiji, 2233 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W., No. 240,
Washington, D.C., 20007; telephone (202) 337-8320, or the Fiji Mission to
the United Nations in New York. This is particularly important for
travelers planning to enter Fiji by sailing vessel.

Medical & Life Insurance
MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Health-care
facilities in Fiji are adequate for routine medical problems. Two major
hospitals, the Lautoka Hospital in the western city of Lautoka, and the
Colonial War Memorial Hospital in Suva, the capital, provide emergency and
outpatient services. A private hospital in Suva provides Western-style
medical care, and maintains the Fiji Recompression Chamber for the benefit
of scuba divers. Other hospitals and clinics provide only a limited range
of health services. Medical emergencies may be referred to Australia, New
Zealand, or the United States. Serious medical problems requiring
hospitalization and/or medical evacuation to the United States or elsewhere
can cost thousands of dollars. Doctors and hospitals expect immediate cash
payment for health services.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe
food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s hotline for international
travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747)

MEDICAL INSURANCE: The Department of State strongly
urges Americans to consult with their medical insurance company prior to
traveling abroad to confirm whether their policy applies overseas and
whether it will cover emergency expenses such as a medical evacuation.
REGISTRATION / EMBASSY LOCATION: Americans living
or traveling outside of the U.S. are encouraged to register with the U.S.
Embassy through the State Department’s travel registration website,
https://travelregistration.state.gov. Americans without Internet access
may register directly with the U.S. Embassy. By registering, American
citizens make it easier for the Embassy to contact them in case of
emergency.
he U.S. Embassy is located at 31 Loftus Street in Fiji’s capital city of
Suva. The telephone number is (679) 331-4466; the fax number is (679)
330-2267. Information may also be obtained by visiting the Embassy’s home
page at
