It\u2019s time to shake off the post-lockdown blues and make that wanderlust a reality.<\/p>

From 1 December 2021, fully vaccinated travellers from Fiji-approved travel partner countries can say \u201cBula!\u201d once more to the white sandy beaches, tropical weather, clear blue sea, and quarantine free travel.<\/p>

But before you pack your bags, we\u2019ve prepared a rundown of the important health and safety protocols, and what to expect for your first trip back to Fiji.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Planning Your Trip<\/strong><\/h3>

It\u2019s important to note that currently only fully vaccinated travellers from the following countries can enter without prior approval and without the need to quarantine:<\/p>

Australia, Canada, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, France, French Polynesia, Germany, Japan, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Palau, Qatar, Republic of Korea, Samoa, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Spain, Switzerland, Tonga, Tuvalu, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, United States of America, Vanuatu.<\/em><\/p>

Check Travel Requirements<\/h4>

Even if you\u2019re travelling from a partner country it\u2019s important to check any additional travel requirements before you book. COVID-19 means things can change fairly quickly so to avoid delays or cancellations, keep up to date with both Fiji\u2019s restrictions and requirements in your home country.<\/p>

Book Your Stay<\/h4>

All travellers need to book their accommodations at a Care Fiji Certified (CFC) resort for at least 3 nights. Transfers and tours should also be booked with approved CFC operators only. Certified businesses will have the CFC badge on the Fiji website<\/a> so they can be easily identified.<\/p>

Secure Medical Travel Insurance<\/h4>

All travellers need to secure medical travel insurance with international and COVID-19 coverage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
