Prior Notification of Arrival - NEW Procedure July 2013

Yachts arriving from overseas now only complete the revised Advance Notice Form C2-C (this is much longer and comprehensive than the old one). The previous requirement to also complete and email the Biosecurity, Customs and Health forms no longer applies. Just the one form C2-C suffices. Download it here.

This revised Form C2-C must be emailed or faxed to the Fijian authorities not less than 48 hours prior to arrival. It is also necessary to attach a scanned photo of your boat and also a copy of the Captain’s passport. You send these 2 pictures, along with a scanned copy of your completed Form C2-C. This is NEW requirement.

On arrival, it will be necessary to complete the forms for Biosecurity, Health, Quarantine and Customs. The fees for Biosecurity and Health fees have recently increased considerably. See Fees below.

The forms and pictures can be emailed or faxed to the Customs office at yachtsreport@frca.org.fj. or faxed (679) 330 2929 or 3301186. Alternatively, phone (679) 324 3000.

Cruisers have reported that when they asked for it, e-mail confirmation of receipt was sent by Customs.

The penalties for failure to comply may be a fine in the order of F$20,000 and/or 2 years imprisonment.

Not having access to the internet does not appear to be accepted as an excuse. Even being forced to stop in Fiji due to sail and engine problems will invite a thorough inspection and difficulties in obtaining a cruising licence.

 Il me parait utile de préciser que cette copie partielle de l'article de NOONSITE.COM consacré aux Fidji, mérite d'être complétée par les éléments suivants:

"On arrival in Fiji waters, fly the 'Q' flag.

On approach, contact Port Control on VHF Channel 16 to request entry into port.

It is advisable to time your entry for during the working day and not at weekends, otherwise the fees can be quite expensive(see further details under clearance and Fees below).

Skipper and crew must remain on board until clearance is completed."

 Merci, en postant ce matin je n'avais pas trop de temps. Preparant des navigations dans ces endroits, j'ai preparé un notebook avec les extraits de Noonsite concernant les differents pays de ma zone de navigation. Je n'avais pasle lien direct, mais simplement le lien du formulaire en PDF.

Merci d'avoir rendu a Noonsite ce qui lui appartient.

Petite note au passage. Au lieu de poster, sur STW, que faire quand on arrive dans un pays, je vous rappelle que NOONSITE donne d'excellentes informations sur les pays visités, et qu'il serait bon de le visiter en premier lors de la preparation de votre voyage......
Quitte aprés de poser des questions sur STW afin d'avoir des tuyaux plus précis, ou en francais....

 Merci de ces renseignements, cela devrait m'être très utile dès l'année prochaine.
