Do Fijian citizens need a visa to travel to Russia?
No — if you hold a Fijian passport, you can travel to Russia without a visa for stays up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
This visa-free access makes it easy for travelers from Fiji to explore Russia for tourism, business, or personal visits without going through any visa application process.
Important: You must register in advance using the RuID app. This means providing your personal details and biometric data to generate a QR code, which you’ll present at the border when you arrive in Russia. You must do this at least 72 hours before arrival, but it’s best to complete it earlier — you can apply up to 90 days in advance.
Visa-free entry conditions for Fiji passport holders
✅ Stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period
✅ No visa, invitation letter, or visa support required
✅ No consulate visit or online application necessary
👉 If you plan to stay longer than 90 days, work, study, or engage in other activities requiring a different type of visa, you must apply for a regular visa at a Russian consulate.
What do you need to enter Russia?
You simply need:
- A valid passport (valid for at least 6 months after leaving Russia)
👉 No tickets, hotel bookings, proof of funds, or additional documents are required.
At border control, you’ll fill out an immigration card, which must be kept during your stay — learn more here.
Do Fijian travelers need travel insurance?
Although travel medical insurance is not mandatory for Fijian citizens visiting Russia visa-free, it’s highly recommended. Healthcare costs in Russia can be high in case of emergencies.
✅ You can easily get insurance accepted by Russian authorities here.
Do I need to register in Russia?
Yes — if you stay in Russia for more than 7 business days, you must register your stay with local authorities.
👉 Hotels usually handle this, but if staying privately, your host or landlord must complete the registration.
