Please be aware that you are responsible to ensure your passport and visa requirements are valid for travel to all countries. 

New Zealand

All travellers, with the exception of New Zealand and Australian passport holders, require either a visitors visa; or if holding a passport from a visa-waiver country (including USA, Canada, UK, European Union countries, Hong Kong, Singapore and some South American nations), will require an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA). Visit: www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas to ensure you have the correct documentation for travel, or to apply for a visa.

Australia:

All international visitors (except Australian & NZ passport holders) require a visa for entry into Australia. All visa applications must be made before arriving in Australia. The length of stay & purpose of visit will determine the visa required. Short stay holiday visas (up to 3 months) can be arranged electronically for most passport holders. Check www.eta.immi.gov.au for further details.

All visitors must carry a passport valid for the period of intended travel in to and out of Australia.

Fiji:

A valid passport is required. It must not expire for at least three months after your intended date of visit and you will require an onward ticket.
