What the Kiribati visa rules mean for Fiji travellers
Fiji citizens can enter Kiribati without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid Fiji passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay.
