The Immigration Department will now liaise with various Embassies and High Commissions to provide them with a list of all those passports that have expired.
This is after 6 Indian nationals were arrested for allegedly using expired and fake passports to enter Fiji.
Director Immigration Major Nemani Vuniwaqa said through the Foreign Affairs Ministry, they will now clamp down on those immigrants who are entering the country illegally.
He said the current system is such that if the Canadian authorities and Interpol would not have informed the local authorities, the six would never have been arrested.
Meanwhile, the six Indian nationals who allegedly used fake passport to enter Fiji are still being detained at the Namaka Police station.
The six were arrested yesterday when they tried to leave the country.
It is believed that five came to Fiji using fake Canadian passports on 15th of this month while the sixth suspect came into the county on 22nd of this month using a fake British passport.
The six also revealed that they paid more than $25,000 each to travel agents in Canada so that they could get fake passports to enter the country.
