New Zealand tourist / visitor visa success rate for Fijian citizens

In the UK — the only government that publishes visa outcomes broken down by both nationality and visa type — 76.3% of Fijian tourist visa applications were approved, down from 77.2% a year earlier, across 1,150 decisions in the year to March 2026. For Fijian tourist applicants that is the only approval rate on record anywhere. New Zealand does not publish tourist decisions by nationality, so no New Zealand-specific rate exists for Fiji — and any site quoting one is estimating. Where Fiji does have published rates, they run at 67.2% on US visitor visas in FY2025 — a wider picture of how Fijian applications are treated, though neither is a tourist-visa figure. What New Zealand does document is the decision itself: officers assess whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time, and the biggest single lever is return intent. The estimator below weighs your own finances, ties, travel history and refusal record instead.

For Fijian citizens applying, a tourist visa to New Zealand is decided mainly on whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time. Public statistics point to an approximate base approval of around 76% for this route — but your own profile can move that figure a lot in either direction. Published approval rates for Fiji run at 67.2% on US visitor visas in FY2025.

Where Fiji sits in the official data

Two governments publish visa outcomes broken down by country. Neither predicts an individual decision, but together they show how Fijian applicants fare relative to everyone else, and which of the destinations we cover currently refuses the fewest applications from Fiji.

UK tourist visas — year to March 2026

The UK is the only government that publishes outcomes by nationality and visa type, so it is the one place a tourist-visa figure for Fiji actually exists. 23.7% of Fijian tourist applications were refused across 1,150 decisions , against 22.8% the year before. That volume makes Fiji the 82nd-largest source of UK tourist applicants, of 110 countries with meaningful numbers. Different country, different rules — a reference point, not your odds here.

US visitor visas — FY2025

A 32.8% adjusted refusal rate places Fiji 102nd of 199 nationalities the State Department publishes — a lower refusal rate than 49% of them. The median nationality sits at 31.8%, so Fiji is 1 points above it.

The European Commission's Schengen table carries no row for Fiji at any volume, so the US and UK figures above are the only two nationality-level rates published for Fijian applicants anywhere. They run 33% refused in the US against 24% refused in the UK — 9 points apart — a reminder that these are two different visas assessed under two different systems, not one "how strict is this country" score. Volume is the other half of the picture: 1,150 tourist decisions make Fiji the 82nd-largest source the UK sees for that category, of 110 countries with a meaningful number.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an official New Zealand tourist visa success rate for Fijian citizens?

Not one we currently carry. We only print a rate when we hold the publisher's own figure for this nationality and this visa category, and we do not hold one for New Zealand tourist visas. The figure shown on this page is a modelled estimate built from published route-level data and your answers — we label it as such rather than presenting it as a government statistic. What you can act on is the documented requirement set below, which is what the decision actually turns on.

What matters most for a New Zealand tourist visa?

Officers focus on whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time. In practice the single biggest lever is return intent, so make that part of your application as strong and well-documented as possible.

Does a previous visa refusal affect my chances?

Yes. A prior refusal weighs on new applications until its underlying reason is addressed. Find out exactly why you were refused, fix what caused it, and clearly show what is different this time.

Is this a guarantee of approval?

No. GetVisaOdds is an educational planning tool, not legal advice and not a guarantee. Only a consular or immigration officer can decide your application. We show approximate odds and the reasons behind them so you can prepare better.

Is my information private?

Completely. The estimate runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are never sent to a server or stored — there is no sign-up and nothing to leak.
