What should I do about being issued the wrong fiji visa?

Question

I'm currently traveling in Fiji on a combined conference/vacation trip. They issued me a 14 day business visa when I entered Fiji, but this isn't long enough to cover my conference + vacation. It's only one day short, so I didn't realize the problem until I left the airport. What should I do in this situation?

Answer 1

You can apply to extend your visa. High Commission of Fiji, Australia:

It is possible to apply for an additional two weeks beyond the fourteen (14) day period (maximum of six (6) weeks from the date of arrival) at a fee of $F185. Application for the extension must be made within the first 14 days NOT after. The following documents must be submitted with your application for extension:

• Letter from the employer

• Completed Application of Permit Extension Form

• Confirmed booking

• Fee $185

Applications for extension on the relevant form (see above) are to be sent to the Immigration Department:

Director of Immigration, Department of Immigration, PO BOX 2224, Government Buildings, Suva, Fiji Islands (679) 3312 622
