yael_k 08:59 UTC 14 Dec 2016 | Hi, Soon travelling to Fiji. What should we prepare for passport control? Is there a form to be filled? Do we have to show reservations have to show? Is there biometrics - face photo / fingerprint? If someone had been there recently would love to know the details Thanks |

watsoff 18:08 UTC 15 Dec 2016 | Last time I went to Fiji in 2013 (my 16th visit) I was asked what hotel I was staying in (this was at Fiji immigration). I never, ever, pre-book hotels for Fiji and have never been asked this on any previous trip, so I was quite surprised. The immigration officer wasn't happy with this and said I had to have pre-booked accommodation, but when I said that this was my 16th visit and that I had never pre-booked before, he rather grudgingly notated my email address. I hardly ever to never check emails when travelling, but what the hey. | 4
