Fiji no longer to require pre-arrival COVID-19 test from vaccinated visitors

The white-sand beaches and turquoise waters of Fiji will soon be a bit easier to access as the government of the island nation will drop pre-arrival COVID-19 testing for vaccinated travelers.

Starting May 1, in an effort to streamline the entry process, visitors no longer have to present proof of a negative PCR or antigen test taken prior to arriving.

Vaccinated travelers 16 and older still need to schedule an in-country rapid antigen test to be taken between 48 and 72 hours after arrival. They also need to have travel insurance that covers COVID-19.

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

Tourism Fiji reports that since the country reopened to visitors in December 2021, it has welcomed more than 100,000 international travelers.
