This is an official Port of Entry.
Refer to the main Fiji Formalities page for detailed clearance information.
Anchor at 12°29.49'S, 177°02.69'E by the wharf.
Contact Eramasi Tumaitavuki (biosecurity) via email eratumaitavuki@baf.com He will contact Customs and Health for you. VHF ch 16 coverage, except in front of the Customs office in town, is not good.
You will be met at the dock by Customs, Immigration and Health officers and you will need to transport them out to your vessel. The officials are reported to be very friendly and helpful and prompt. You will need FI$ to pay the fees as there is no ATM or bank.
Clearing out
Outgoing clearance is somewhat more difficult unless you have a Vodaphone or Digicell cell phone with which you can schedule an appointment for clearing out. There is good Vodaphone coverage at the dock.
The official offices are all at the Government Station, some 12 Kilometers from the anchorage. There is an Immigration office, Customs, and Biosecurity.
When clearing out, you will be requested not to take any fruit with you as the island has a fruit pest not found elsewhere.
