Fiji set to begin quarantine-free travel from December
Fiji confirmed plans to reopen to fully vaccinated travellers from December 1.
It has earmarked certain countries as low risk, enabling vaccinated travellers to skip quarantine.
These are Australia, New Zealand, the US, the UK, the UAE, Canada, Germany, Spain, France, South Korea, Japan, Qatar, Singapore, Switzerland and several Pacific Island countries and territories.
A pre-travel negative RT-PCR test is required and a rapid test must be taken at their hotel 48 hours after arrival.
"It’s been almost two years since we welcomed international visitors and in these two years, we’ve struggled, we’ve adapted, and we’ve prepared. Today, our national airline is ready, our hotels and tour providers are ready," said Tourism Minister Faiyaz Koya.
Fiji Airways recently announced that flights to and from the US will resume on December 1.
It is restarting flights from Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Honolulu.
Tourism Fiji says more than 80% of adults in Fiji were fully vaccinated.
