Appointments will be on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, January 22-24.

In order to obtain an appointment, please telephone 679-331-4466 ext. 8141 or 8121 from Monday through Thursday 2-4 pm.   You may also email to request an appointment at consularsuva@state.gov.

When you are given an appointment, a consular employee will review the documents you need to present, and will also advise you the fees you need to pay.  You must come with a certified bank check in the exact amount made payable to the U.S. Embassy, Suva.   For security reasons, cash is not accepted.

Failure to provide required documents or payment at the time of the appointment will result in cancellation of your appointment with the consular officer.
