How is the application form for Fijis?

Most forms are difficult to understand, and most Fiji citizens may not like forms. That does not apply to our application form. It consists of three easy steps. Also, the company has an excellent support service ready to take your call day and night if you need any help.

1. The first step will ask you to insert your general information. That should take only about 5 minutes of your time. You must also choose the processing time and visa type. Both choices are related to the cost of your visa, so make sure that you know what you choose.

2. The second step will ask Fiji citizens to review what was written in step one and make the payment. It is highly recommended that you check the accuracy of the information you insert because revisions are impossible once your application is processed.

3. The last step consists of a set of personal questions and a photo upload. You may be required to upload additional documents. Do not expect to have the same requirements as they differ from case to case. Simply hit the submit button after you finish all the steps. It does not get any easier than that.

What if I'm just transiting through India but not entering the country?

In that case, you don't need a visa or e-Visa, but remember that officers will ask you to have it when you leave the transit area or go through customs. We recommend you stay in the transit area.
