The polls are due by September next year.
Fiji's Electoral Commission said its Pacific islands registration drive began on Friday in Tonga and would continue for the next two weeks through the Cook Islands, Kiribati and American Samoa.
People need to be at least 18 and have a valid Fijian passport.
In the 2014 election, 5506 Fijians living overseas were registered to vote.
In previous elections, voters needed to have lived in Fiji for at least two years before election day.
