Fiji is not an app-heavy destination, and the useful setup depends on whether you stay around Nadi and Suva or travel to outer islands. Check visa rules for your passport before departure. Eligible visitors receive a visitor permit at immigration, while travelers from non-exempt countries need prior approval. Fiji now requires a travel document that remains valid for more than six months after entry. Complete the passenger arrival card and declare every food item, plant or animal product, and used outdoor or water-sports item whenever unsure. Cards work at major resorts and businesses but often attract a surcharge, while taxis, markets, buses and remote places may require Fijian dollars. Buy or load the correct eTransport card before relying on public buses. Book ferries, resort launches and domestic flights around one another rather than assuming same-day connections will work. Download confirmations and maps because mobile service can weaken away from the main islands. Use licensed taxis with yellow plates, insist on the meter for an LT taxi, and arrange child restraints or rear seatbelts ahead. Monitor Fiji Meteorological Service warnings, especially from November through April. Call 911 for a general emergency, 910 for fire, or 917 for police.
