Everything Fijian citizens need to know about applying for a Vietnam eVisa, including embassy information, FJD fees, and connecting flights from Nadi to Vietnam.
1. Do Fijian Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam?
Yes, as of 2026, **Fijian citizens are required to have a valid visa** to enter Vietnam for tourism or business. Fiji is not on Vietnam's visa exemption list.
Fortunately, Fijian passport holders are fully eligible for the **Vietnam eVisa**. This electronic visa is the most convenient way to obtain your entry permit, eliminating the need to physically visit an embassy. The eVisa allows you to stay in Vietnam for up to 90 days with options for single or multiple entries, making it perfect for both short holidays and extended backpacking trips across Southeast Asia. You can easily apply through the official portal.
2. Vietnam Embassy in Fiji
**There is currently no Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate located in Fiji.**
For standard tourist or business visits, you do not need an embassy since the eVisa is processed entirely online. However, if you need specialized consular services (such as legalizing documents or dealing with diplomatic matters), you will have to contact the nearest diplomatic missions: - **Embassy of Vietnam in Wellington, New Zealand** - **Embassy/Consulates of Vietnam in Australia**
For 99% of travelers, the eVisa is all you need, and you can apply right from your computer or smartphone in Fiji.
3. Vietnam eVisa Requirements and FJD Costs
To successfully apply for a Vietnam eVisa, Fijian citizens must prepare the following documents: - A valid Fijian passport with at least **6 months of validity** remaining from your planned date of entry and at least 2 blank pages. - A scanned copy of your passport's bio-data page (in .jpg format). - A recently taken digital passport-sized photo (no glasses, solid background). - A credit or debit card for the visa fee.
**Visa Fees (Estimates in Fijian Dollars):** - **Single-entry eVisa (up to 90 days):** $25 USD (approximately **55 FJD**) - **Multiple-entry eVisa (up to 90 days):** $50 USD (approximately **110 FJD**)
*Note: The exact FJD amount will depend on your bank's exchange rate (currently around 1 USD = 2.20 FJD) at the time of processing. The standard processing time is 3-5 working days, though we recommend applying at least a week before your departure.*
4. Flights from Fiji to Vietnam
Since there are **no direct flights** from Fiji to Vietnam, you will need to book a journey with at least one layover. The primary departure point is **Nadi International Airport (NAN)**, and your most likely destinations in Vietnam will be Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) or Hanoi (HAN).
**Popular Connecting Routes:** - **Via Australia (Sydney/Melbourne):** Fiji Airways frequently flies to major Australian hubs. From Sydney (SYD) or Melbourne (MEL), you can connect to Ho Chi Minh City using Vietnam Airlines or Jetstar. - **Via Singapore:** You can fly from Nadi to Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) with Fiji Airways or Singapore Airlines, and then take a short flight to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. - **Via Hong Kong:** Cathay Pacific offers routes connecting Nadi to Vietnam via Hong Kong (HKG).
Total travel time usually ranges from 15 to over 20 hours depending on layover lengths, so plan your transit visas accordingly if leaving the airport during a layover.
5. Entry Ports and Arrival Tips for Fijians
With your approved Vietnam eVisa, you can enter the country through any of the **33 designated international ports** (13 airports, 16 land borders, and 13 seaports).
If you are flying in from Nadi via your layover destination, you will most likely arrive at: - Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City) - Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi) - Da Nang International Airport
