About the Embassy of Fiji in the United States
The ambassador is Ilisoni Vuidreketi, who presented the credentials on 17 June 2024, according to the State Department’s Order of Precedence. The Congressional Directory also lists 3 consular offices of Fiji in the United States – career or honorary – in San Francisco (California), New York (New York) and Portland (Oregon); these will get their own pages in this directory. In Fiji, the United States is represented by the U.S. Embassy in Suva (fj.usembassy.gov), according to the Congressional Directory.
Do Fijian citizens need a visa for the United States?
Fiji is not one of the 42 countries in the US Visa Waiver Program (Department of Homeland Security), so Fijian citizens normally need a US visa before travelling to the United States, also for short visits; visas are issued by US embassies and consulates abroad, not by the Fijian embassy in the United States.
