Fiji citizens traveling in the US, Canada or Mexico should be aware that the Embassy can only provide a very basic safety net for travelers in difficulty. Travelers need to be aware that Fiji citizens who enter a foreign state become subject to its laws and are legally accountable for acts they commit on its territory. In the event of a Fiji citizen finding him or herself in difficulty, Fiji Embassy Officers will seek to ensure that Fiji citizens receive the benefit of the same laws, administration, protection and means of redress which the foreign state affords its own subjects.

If you do happen to encounter serious problems while you are in the US, Canada or Mexico, you should seek the assistance of the Fiji Embassy. However, there are very clear limits to what the Fiji Embassy can do.

What the Embassy Can Do

  • Issue emergency travel documents.
  • Provide assistance in the case of an accident, serious illness, or death to arrange for
    next of kin to be informed.
  • Provide a list of doctors and lawyers.
  • Visit you in jail, if you are arrested, if you so request and arrange for your family to be
    informed, if you wish.
  • Help you during emergencies, such as natural disasters.

What the Embassy Cannot Do

  • Arrange any of your travel or hotel bookings.
  • Pay your hotel, medical, or any other bills or become involved in disputes about these
    expenses.
  • Provide funds to pay your legal costs or fines.
  • Get you out of jail.
  • Represent you at legal proceedings or give legal advice.
  • Obtain special treatment for you in jail, or hospital, or in any dealings you might have
    with local authorities.
  • Obtain work or a work permit for you.
