The High Commission in Fiji is providing Consular Services to Vanuatu citizens residing in Fiji who can access the services of Immigration and Passport Departments. Therefore, Vanuatu citizens residing in Fiji are encouraged to register with the Vanuatu High Commission office located at 17 Mariko street, Laucala Bay, in Suva, Fiji. This will enable us to know and locate Vanuatu Citizens in the event of an emergency situation. Registration may be done in person at the High Commission until the office finalizes and uploads its online registration forms.
Be informed that, Vanuatu citizens visiting Fiji are subject to its laws and are legally accountable to acts they commit within the country. In the event of a Vanuatu citizen facing some difficulty, the Vanuatu High Commission will ensure that the person receives the benefit of the same laws, administration, protection and means of redress which Fiji affords of its own subjects.
