Whether you need one: Not independently confirmed against Fiji's own visa-exempted-countries page this session. Fiji's Department of Immigration homepage (immigration.gov.fj), fetched this session, confirms the department maintains a dedicated 'Visa Exempted Countries' page and a general 'Entering Fiji' page, and states a general policy that Fiji 'offer[s] a range of visas to help those who can contribute to Fiji, visit, work, study, live or invest here' -- but the homepage content itself does not name India or state a permitted visitor-stay duration. This session's task brief characterized Fiji as visa-free for Indian nationals for visits of up to 4 months, but that characterization was supplied as scoping guidance, not confirmed against a fetched page this session -- see conflict_note and deferred[].
