Security level 1: good security

Take normal precautions despite good security: petty theft is common in Fiji, with more urban crime. Avoid isolated areas at night and beware drink spiking and sexual assault in bars and nightclubs, especially for solo women. Guard PINs against card fraud, maintain food and water hygiene, and prevent insect bites as dengue increases. Public hospitals have lower standards, but Suva and larger cities have medical facilities usually requiring cash payment.

Canada0Normal precautions
Exercise normal security precautions

Exercise normal security precautions in Fiji, but remain alert for petty crime, especially in downtown Suva and Nadi. Violent crime occurs particularly in downtown Suva, Denarau Island and Colo-I-Suva Forest Park, so avoid isolated areas and walking after dark. Be vigilant about methanol-adulterated alcohol in southern Fiji and card fraud. Outdoor activities and unsupervised beaches can be dangerous, so seek local advice and avoid poor weather.

Estonia0Normal precautions
Ee level 0

Take normal precautions when travelling to Fiji, but consult other countries’ travel information because Estonia has no representation there. Drivers need a valid Estonian licence and an international driving permit under the Geneva Convention. Estonian citizens may stay without a visa for four months, but Fiji may change entry conditions without prompt notice, so confirm current requirements and seek consular assistance in Canberra or Suva if needed.

Normal precautions

Exercise normal precautions in Fiji, but remain alert to petty crime, luggage theft, credit-card fraud and ATM skimming, especially outside resort areas. Violent robbery affects foreign tourists particularly after dark in Suva and other towns, and driving at night between Nadi and Suva is dangerous. Protect yourself from leptospirosis, typhoid, Zika, dengue and riptides, and check tour operators and safety equipment for water activities.

Colour code green: no special risks

Take normal precautions, but beware of pickpocketing and theft, especially in cities, nightclubs and markets, and of credit card fraud and ATM skimming. Sexual assault is a risk, so avoid remote streets, parks and beaches, especially after sunset and in Suva. Prepare for storms, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis and dangerous currents, avoid demonstrations, and do not drive after sunset outside cities, as the Nadi to Suva road has many accidents.
