For Fiji

CITIZENS of the United States no longer require visas to enter Fiji, if they intend to stay in the Colony less than four months.

A traveller entering the Colony without a visa must hold a United States passport which is valid for at least six months after the date of his arrival, and he must be in possession of adequate funds, as well as a return ticket or a ticket covering the onward journey to his next destination. A United States citizen intending to stay in Fiji for more than four months must still apply to the Principal Immigration Officer, Suva, for a visa.

The abolition of the visa require ments for American tourists has been asked for on a number of occasions by travel agents and rep resentatives of airlines and ship ping companies interested in bring ing dollar tourists to Fiji.
