Rules can change: confirm on the official site before you travel. imptbalearic.es is a hotel and travel site; it does not issue visas.
Fijian citizens require a Schengen short-stay visa to enter Spain for tourism, including visits to Ibiza, Menorca or Formentera. The visa is applied for at the Spanish consulate or the visa centre it uses in the country where you live. Plan ahead, as appointments and processing take time. Check the official EU visa list for the most current status.
What the visa requirement means
A Schengen short-stay visa allows Fijian citizens to stay in the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. This covers tourism, family visits or business trips. The visa is valid for all Schengen countries, including Spain and its Balearic Islands of Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera.
Without a valid visa, you will be refused boarding by the airline or ferry company and denied entry at the Spanish border. Apply well before your planned departure. The visa is not issued at the border.
Before you travel and at the border
When you arrive at a Spanish airport or seaport, present your passport and the visa sticker. The passport must be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area and have been issued within the previous ten years. Border officers may ask for proof of accommodation, return tickets and sufficient funds.
Two new EU entry systems are being introduced: the Entry/Exit System (EES) and the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS). Check https://travel-europe.europa.eu/ before travelling for the latest requirements.
Arriving on the islands
Ibiza Airport (IBZ) and Menorca Airport (MAH) receive flights from mainland Spain and other European cities. Formentera has no airport. To reach Formentera, fly to Ibiza and take a ferry from the port of Ibiza to La Savina. Mallorca is a transit point only for connecting flights or ferries to Ibiza or Menorca.
At the airport or ferry terminal, your passport and visa will be checked. Keep your visa documents handy. Many businesses on the islands close from roughly November to April; check opening dates for accommodation and services.
Staying longer, working or studying
A Schengen short-stay visa does not permit work or study. To stay longer than 90 days, or to work or study in Spain, you need a national visa (visado nacional) or a residence permit. Apply at the Spanish consulate in your country of residence before travelling.
Check the official Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for the full list of visa types and requirements. The rules change, so always confirm the current process before applying.
