Removal of transit visa requirement for Fijian nationals
The requirement for a transit visa for Fijian nationals travelling through New Zealand is being removed.
The Government has announced it will remove the requirement for Fijian nationals to have a transit visa when travelling through New Zealand.
We are working to implement this change and expect to complete it in the coming months. We will provide more information when available.
In the meantime, Fijian nationals travelling through New Zealand will still need a transit visa.
When the transit visa waiver is in place, Fijian nationals will need to apply for a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) to transit New Zealand.
Fijian nationals wanting to visit, study or work in New Zealand will still need the appropriate visa before travelling.
The fee for an NZeTA is NZD$23 for online applications, or NZD$17 if using the free app. We process requests within 72 hours, and an NZeTA is valid for 2 years.
