Entry rules for crew
Fiji Immigration
Fiji Immigration says a visitor permit allows up to 4 months of stay, with an extension of 2 months if the fee is paid. Yacht owners and crew members must apply for their permits before arriving. A visa to enter does not mean you can work. Check the rules for your passport.
Forms and reports
Crew signing on or off a yacht complete Forms A and B for Immigration and Customs, says Port Denarau Marina. Fiji Revenue and Customs Service says Customs must be told of any crew who disembark, with reasons.
One-way tickets
Tourism Fiji says crew or guests who arrive on one-way air tickets need a letter from Fiji Immigration to board.
