The government of Fiji has announced that travellers to the country will no longer be required to show proof of a Covid-19 vaccine.
As of 14 February, all remaining Covid-19 travel restrictions, including proof of the Covid-19 vaccine and travel insurance covering infection with the SARS-Cov-2 virus have been lifted.
In a statement on its website, the government announced that the move ‘comes following careful consideration of the global and national Covid-19 situation by the Covid-19 Risk Mitigation Taskforce (CRMT) and applies to both arrivals from air and sea.’
Fiji had previously removed the need for fully-vaccinated visitors to provide proof of a negative PCR test prior to arrival in May 2022.
Tourism Fiji chief executive Brent Hill said: ‘The industry welcomes the decision to remove all protocols, restrictions, vaccination requirements and Covid-19 tests – and invites the world to come and experience Fiji: where happiness comes naturally.’
Fiji’s Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS) reports that 95 per cent of Fiji’s estimated adult population is ‘fully vaccinated’, with a booster programme well underway. Border authorities report that visitor arrivals in 2022 reached 71.1 per cent on 2019 levels.
