Strict laws govern the entry of yachts
into Fiji. Yachtsmen for the most part are experienced
in such requirements and know they must first clear
in a designated port of entry. In Fiji, these are
Suva, Lautoka, Levuka and Savusavu. Yachts are cleared
by Health, Immigration, Customs and Quarantine. Yachtsmen
and women are then free to enjoy their stay except
that they are required to obtain permission in writing
if they intend to visit the outer islands, especially
in the eastern region of Fiji.

Initially a foreign yacht
would be given immigration clearance for stay a
of 4 months. This can be extended upon application
of up to a maximum period of 12 months.
Immigration officials will
advise the procedure to follow in making an appropriate
application.
