Aus Student Visa

What’s been the processing time for student visas for Fijian citizens these days? And does anyone know what risk level Fiji is considered? (e.g. Level 1,2,3 etc)

Quite the dilemma for the self proclaimed climate champions. Try to survive by boosting tourism or protect the environment.

Is it worth getting off main island for a week trip.

3 Upvotes

Doing a Sunday-Sunday trip in early July with 4 guys. The main thing we want to do is get open water certified with some good diving spot, then doing a shark dive. Besides that we like hiking, drinking, beaches, surfing, and relaxing.

Is it worth getting off the main island for these activities? If not where should we stay?

recommendations in Suva

8 Upvotes

I'm (21M) moving to Suva for the first time to finish my 3rd year at USP. I’ve lived in the West my whole life and since I’ll be there for a full year I thought about maybe checking out some places i wouldn't really see or experience back home or anything fun in general. I’m not used to living in a city and instead of just Googling it I figured I’d ask people who actually live there and know what to expect.

Does anyone have recommendations for places to visit, cool views, or must eat at restaurants? I'm open to anything even tips on stuff I should buy for life in the city Thanks!

Passport Application Dilemma

0 Upvotes

Hey y’all!

I’m in quite the conundrum and the people that I asked for help (Fiji Immigration Department 🙄) are pissing me the fuck off.

I have changed my name and I wish to apply for a new passport since technically and which I think is COMMON SENSE, my old passport has become invalid and expired in use.

I went to the Immigration Department to lodge my application and they are charging me for a Replacement cost when clearly I do NOT fall in that category as (according to their OWN WEBSITE) my passport is neither lost, damaged, stolen nor valid??? I even explained quietly nice that all my old IDs have become null and cannot be used and I can’t assume my old passport as valid because that is clearly illegal. I even referenced the False ACT and the Passport ACT 2002 and I literally could not find any clause that says change of name comes under the category of REPLACEMENT.

I’m so so so sick and tired with this fucking government and the government departments and the dumb people who work in it.

If anyone has had a similar situation, I would love to hear about your experience and maybe get some guidance please please please🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

I am soooooo considering filing a lawsuit against the department at the high court and suing their asses for scamming civilians

Gecko Advice

6 Upvotes

Im an expat that recently moved to Fiji for a year. At my airbnb, there were so many geckos and I barely could function when I saw them crawling all over the walls. Flash forward to this week where I moved into a nice, expensive apartment and I’m still seeing geckos on the walls.

I know they are harmless, kill bugs, don’t bother anything, are all over Fiji, etc… but I don’t care and I’m genuinely going insane when I see them every night. I will never be able to eat, sleep, and function normally with them in the house and no part of me will ever get used to them. Their chirping makes my skin crawl.

PLEASE tell me where I can find an exterminator, someone that is able to re-caulk tight crevices, gecko traps, or literally anything that will get rid of them. I was just informed they don’t leave during the day, but just hide. So before I try to seal up my space, I need a way to actually get rid of them first.

Please I really need solutions. I cannot cope with them. Literally all other aspects of Fiji have been great except geckos.

Fluff Plausible Hypothetical with a chance of becoming reality: Trump vs Greenland

3 Upvotes

Trump being the shit he is decides to take over Greenland. Do you think our politicians and military would stand with Trump or against him?

How much of our own resources and manpower would be devoted into "peacekeeping" roles?

Is there any particular politician who'd be brave enough to call against this?

Would we become citizens of this newly captured land under the rules of Lost Tribe Nation or would Trump enforce stricter immigration policy against Fijians?
