Suva Branch is one of three Immigration New Zealand (INZ) offices located in the Pacific. Our office is located on the 8th floor of the Reserve Bank Building, Pratt Street in Suva.
The Suva Branch employs 22 staff, who process around 18,000 temporary visa applications a year. Residence visa applications are processed at the Pacific Division in Auckland. We have staff members who are fluent in English, Fijian and Hindustani.
The Suva Branch also maintains a close relationship with its buddy posts in Honiara, Noumea, Port Moresby, Port Vila and Tarawa. All buddy posts have trained and warranted visa officers.
October of every year is the onset of the branch’s busy season. The branch advises cut-off acceptance date(s) for visitor visa applications later in the year. Visitor visa applications received after the cut-off date are not guaranteed to usual processing timeframes and a ‘check’ back date of January the following year is likely. For 2008, the cut-off was approximately 24 October.
Immigration queries should be forwarded to nzissuva@dol.govt.nz in the first instance. We aim to respond to email queries within two working days.
