Passport application requirements and fees

Passport renewals and replacements are now being processed and issued only in Fiji. In this respect, Fiji passport holders are now required to send their completed applications directly to the address below either by courier or registered mail:

Registered Mail The Director Immigration Department PO Box 2224 Government Buildings Suva FIJI

Courier Service The Director Immigration Department 3rd Floor, Suvavou House Victoria Parade Suva FIJI

Applicants are to ensure that all relevant sections on their respective application forms are filled in correctly and that their left thumb print and specimen signature are set out properly in the accorded spaces. It is imperative that a person of good standing in the applicant’s community, preferably a Notary Public, witnesses the application and the three (3) required photographs for a normal application or six (6) for lost passports, which should be recent.

Further note that fees for passport renewals are F$72.00. Fees for the replacement of stolen or lost passports are F$180.00. For those Fiji nationals applying for replacement passports they are to submit a police report and a local newspaper advertisement notifying the loss of their passport together with their respective application forms.

Application fees must be drawn out in Banker’s Draft and made payable to the Director of Immigration. Local bank branches should be able to assist in this respect.

Fiji passport holders must heed that under Fiji’s citizenship laws they are forbidden to hold a passport of another country. Therefore, applications by Fiji nationals residing indefinitely in the United Kingdom or in Europe must be accompanied by a letter from the immigration authority of their country of residence which ascertains their not having applied for or obtained a passport of that country.
