How to use this checklist
Start with the route facts first: citizenship, residence, application country, destination and purpose. Then review the document rows and order processing only where the row says it is required or optional.
Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original passport meeting the stated validity scope | required | visa application | MFA says at least six months from entry; Immigration FAQ says more than six months from travel; airport says at least six months beyond the intended stay. This guide covers a passport already meeting the longer period. Confirm shorter-validity/waiver cases separately; no universal stricter Immigration rule is inferred. |
| Visitor Permit at Immigration clearance | required | visa application | Indian nationals appear in the MFA visa-exempt list, annotated 20 September 2023 and still available at this review. No pre-trip visitor visa application is added for this scope. Permit duration can be several days up to four months, as actually granted, not an automatic four-month stay. |
| Return or outbound ticket and onward-country permission | required | visa application | Have the return/outbound ticket and, if travelling onward outside your own country, the applicable destination/re-entry permission. Do not infer a visa requirement for returning an Indian citizen directly to India. |
| Confirmed accommodation for the visit | required | visa application | Have confirmation for the full stay and the correct Fiji address. This guide is hotel-staying; an exact private-host invitation/ID format is not established for all Indian exempt arrivals. |
| Copy of latest bank statement | required | visa application | The MFA visa-exempt traveller list expressly includes the latest bank statement copy. It does not specify a multi-month history, fixed bank balance or notarised/certified statement for this ordinary arrival scope. |
| Completed Passenger Arrival Card | required | visa application | Complete both sides of the card supplied by the airline/crew and present it with passport/supporting evidence at Immigration. Follow the card instructions; no separate universal pre-arrival electronic authorisation was established for these exempt visitors. |

FAQs
Are all documents for Fiji short family / friend visits automatically translated?
No. Translation is shown per document row because official sources may accept some documents as issued while requiring translation for others.
Can I order document processing from this checklist?
Build your checklist using the route facts first. A processing option can be selected only where supported by the document row. Rows needing language or authentication confirmation remain under review before pricing.
