Narrative:

On approach to the runway at ZZZZ I forgot to call for final flaps and slow to approach speed. The first officer called it just below 1000 feet and I immediately configured and slowed. The landing was uneventful. I expect foqua (flight operations quality assurance) will report me for not being on-speed at 1;000 feet or even 500 feet. Visibility was good; the runway was long and given my experience with [foreign] ATC I thought the best and safest course of action was to continue the approach and land; even though I probably exceeded the speed called for by company policy.fatigue and complacency. The flight had been easy and my approach was controlled and unexciting until I forgot the flaps. I think my first officers were lulled into complacency; thinking I was on top of things. Which I was; until I wasn't. I'd gotten a good night's sleep before the trip and got one short nap inflight. I never sleep well if there's any turbulence at all; and we had a lot of light chop. So; I got forgetful right about the time they decided I was doing okay. I think they all might have been shy about calling me on my error. The weather was good and for all they knew; I was the kind of guy who liked to configure late; which I'm not. We all get tired and those inflight naps don't always work out.
