## Official travel advisory

**Level 1 — Exercise Normal Precautions.** The U.S. State Department places Fiji at Level 1 — Exercise Normal Precautions. Our live index reads 89.9/100. That advisory was last revised Dec 2, 2024, 638 days ago; the index above is recomputed continuously from current reporting.

Fiji generally calls for ordinary caution, though risk varies by location. Visible jewelry, handbags and phones can attract thieves, and resisting a robbery raises the chance of injury. Colo I Suva Forest Park carries a heightened warning: snatch thefts targeting phones and bags happen often along its trails, especially in spots frequented by foreign visitors. Nighttime travel on foot or by car warrants added care, as does general attentiveness to one's surroundings.
