"From 15 November 2023, citizens of all 105 visa exempt countries who are entering Fiji for business purposes will receive business visitor permits on arrival.
In accordance with s.9(3) of the Immigration Act 2003 they are permitted to engage in business, investment, study, research or consultancy work for up to 14 days.
Those who need to extend time for these purposes will need to apply for short term work permits as they do now. "
