Fiji Australia Visa

Fijians Gateway to Australia – Your Subclass 600 Guide
Whether it’s a family reunion in Sydney or a graduation in Brisbane, Australia is often the primary international destination for thousands of Fijians. However, Australia operates a ‘Universal Visa Regime’, which means every Fijian passport holder must have a valid visa before they board their flight.

For many of our travelers, the Visitor Visa (Subclass 600) is the way to go.  This visa is designed for tourism and family visits, usually allowing stays of up to three, six, or even twelve months. At Bula Flights, we specialise in making this application process as smooth as a flight across the Tasman, ensuring your "Genuine Temporary Entrant" status is clearly proven to the Department of Home Affairs.

The Australian Checklist – Documentation is Everything
The secret to a fast Australian visa approval is a "decision-ready" application. In 2026, the Australian High Commission relies heavily on digital scans, and any missing document can lead to lengthy delays. Here is what we help you prepare:

• The Passport Rule: Your Fijian passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of travel. We require high-resolution, glare-free scans of your passport bio-data page.
• Proof of ‘Ties to Fiji’: This is the most critical part. You must prove you have a reason to return home. Bula Flights assist in organizing relevant documentation needed for your Visa application.
• Financial Capacity: You must show you can support yourself without working in Australia. We will require some proof of financial capacity such as your bank statement. 
• The Sponsor Element: If a relative in Australia is hosting you, Bula Flights helps you coordinate their Letter of Invitation and other relevant letters and documents.
• Digital Passport Photo: A recent, professional digital photo that meets Australian biometric standards (no glasses, neutral expression, and specific head-to-frame ratios).  Don’t worry.  Bula Flights will also assist you with this.

Here is the next section of our Australia-specific guide, focusing on the mandatory biometrics process—a step that often confuses many travellers—and how the Bula Flights Full-Service package removes that stress.

The Biometrics Process – Why You Need to Visit VFS
Even though the Australian visa application is lodged online, biometrics (a digital facial photo and a 10-digit fingerprint scan) are a mandatory requirement for almost all Fijian citizens or, if eligible, providing them using use the Australian Immi App. Once your application is submitted via Bula Flights’ expert assistance, you may receive a ‘Biometrics Requirement Letter’.

• Where to Go: In Fiji, these are collected at the Australian Biometric Collection Centres (ABCC) managed by VFS Global. Centres are located in both Suva and Lautoka for your convenience.
• The Appointment: An appointment must be booked in advance, as ‘walk-ins’ aren’t done.
• What Happens: It's a fast, no-ink process.  They will take a high-quality digital photo and scan your fingerprints.
• Crucial Rule: Your fingertips must be clear of any henna (mehendi), cuts, or bandages, as these can interfere with the scanner and cause your appointment to be rescheduled.
