Frequently asked questions

Is Fiji safe for LGBTQ+ travelers?

Fiji: Legal. Decriminalized in 2010 and generally tolerant in tourist areas, though there is no marriage recognition and rural areas tend to be more conservative.

What does "Legal" mean?

Same-sex activity is legal, but there's little or no formal legal recognition of relationships — social acceptance varies, as noted above.

Is this a live, real-time rating?

This is general legal/structural orientation, not real-time data — laws, enforcement, and social climate in this area have been changing quickly (in both directions) in multiple countries, and can vary by specific city or region within a country. Always check a current, specialized source like Equaldex.com before you book and again shortly before you fly.

Where can I check current, city-level detail?

Equaldex.com and ILGA World's legal mapping report are specialized, regularly updated sources — check them before you book and again shortly before you fly, especially for destinations marked "Legal" or "Criminalized" above.
