Nadi International Airport (NAN): arrival & transit guide
What to expect landing at Nadi International Airport in Nadi, Fiji: the arrival flow, transit rules, and onward transport.
Nadi International Airport is Fiji's main gateway, with domestic and international flights sharing the same terminal, which makes an onward domestic connection here more straightforward than at airports that split the two. Off the aircraft, passengers head to the immigration desk with their passport, a completed passenger arrival card, and a visa if their nationality needs one.
More than a hundred nationalities, including Australia, New Zealand, the US, and the UK, enter Fiji without a visa for an ordinary tourist stay; check your own passport's requirement above rather than assuming, since it is not universal. After immigration, baggage claim follows.
Transit rules here split on time rather than nationality: a connection of under six hours can generally stay within the transit area without clearing immigration or customs, subject to a security screening for liquids, gels, and powders in carry-on bags. A longer layover, over six hours, means going through full immigration and formally entering Fiji instead of waiting airside.
Outside the terminal, taxis and pre-arranged transfers are the standard way to Nadi town and the wider Coral Coast and Denarau resort areas.
