$1000 spot fine for those who fail to comply with arrival testing
Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong.

The Health Ministry is stressing that those who fail to comply with arrival testing once in Fiji will face a spot fine of $1000.

As of 7th of April, all quarantine measures in Fiji were lifted.

This includes the 10-day border quarantine for travellers from non-travel partner countries and the 3-day hotel stay for travellers from travel partner countries.

The travel partner country system is also being discontinued.

Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says their border protection will be mediated by the fact that travellers are vaccinated, have a negative pre-departure test and will be tested in-country by a rapid antigen test.

Doctor Fong adds travellers 12 years and above must produce proof of a pre-booked and pre-paid rapid antigen test, to be administered in Fiji after 48 hours, but before 72 hours of arrival in Fiji.

He says booking for tests can be made through entrytestfiji.com

Doctor Fong adds there will be exemptions for those with fit to fly certificates.
