MEDIA RELEASE

 Strengthening Passport Services Through Improved Access and Extended Operating Hours

The Ministry of Immigration (“Ministry”) wishes to advise the public of key operational adjustments aimed at improving service delivery and ensuring faster, more efficient processing of passport applications nationwide.

  1. Online Portal – Increased Appointment Slots
    Daily appointment slots on the Online Passport Application Portal will be increased from Monday 01st December 2025 across all Immigration Offices. This improvement aims to provide better access for applicants, reduce waiting times, and ensure a smoother and more predictable service experience.
  2. No Walk-ins
    The Ministry will continue its no walk-in policy; however, walk-ins may be accepted on a case-by-case basis for genuine emergencies or exceptional circumstances. This is necessary to control queues, maintain order, and ensure that all services are delivered through confirmed appointments. Members of the public are encouraged to use the Online Portal to secure their preferred appointment dates. Those who have already booked their appointments online will not be affected. Their scheduled dates and times remain confirmed.
  3. Overtime for Suva Office
    To manage the high demand, the Suva Immigration Office will operate from 8.30am to 5.00pm from 1–12 December 2025 (2 weeks), while all other offices will continue with their normal operating hours. All urgent applications must be submitted online to ensure prioritised processing.

These measures demonstrate the Ministry’s commitment to improving service delivery, reducing delays, and ensuring that every Fijian receives a reliable, efficient, and customer-focused passport service.

The Ministry thanks the public for their understanding and cooperation as we continue to enhance and modernise our operations.
