Fijian citizens residing in the UK can now renew their e-passports or apply for a new passport at Fiji’s High Commission in London after the first overseas e-passport enrollment kit was launched last night in London.

Speaking at the launch, Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says the launch is Fiji’s latest unprecedented achievement as it arrives on the heels of a record-breaking stretch of economic growth.

He says it is a historic streak of global leadership and an unparalleled array of opportunities made available to every Fijian citizen.

Bainimarama says these e-passports are the latest range of new developments that are bringing Fiji fully into the 21st century.

The Prime Minister says the e-passports allows us to consolidate security requirements at our own borders and smooth travel at ports of entry around the globe.
