r/Fijian

I want to bring some gifts over for some people who I will be staying with, but I don’t want to bring over things that are just going to become junk.
What are some things that a Fijian family may want, that they typically can’t buy/ wouldn’t buy themselves, that I would be able to give them?

I thought chocolates from my country, tea towels, nice hand lotion or soap, perfume…

For example, the ban on sex toys.

Best ATM for travel cards (Wise) and locations? Nadi airport or in town?

Have heard some Fijian ATMs charge large withdrawal fees.

This is probably going to get removed....at least we have monday off!

What are some essentials that I will need?

We found a package deal for a Fiji holiday on Denarau Island for Mid February. What is the weather like in February?

I’ve heard it’s peak wet season, humid and hot during the days with afternoon showers. Some say not to go and others say it’s fine enough with the weather.

Should we book for February or should we look at a different time

I recently purchased a DJI drome from New Zealand and wonder if my friend can bring it to Fiji on my behalf.

I've already submitted Form OP137 to the Civil Aviation Authority of Fiji (CAAF) for recreational use. CAAF has acknowledged my submission and advised me to follow the conditions stated on the form.

I also emailed CAAF for further clarification, explaining that the drone was purchased in New Zealand and would be brought into Fiji by my friend on my behalf. I specifically asked whether the completed OP137 and their acknowledgement would be sufficient for Fiji Customs clearance or whether any additional CAAF permit or documentation was required.

CAAF responded, "That will suffice."

My main concern now is Fiji Customs at Nadi Airport, especially since my friend is bringing the drone for me rather than for himself.

Has anyone brought a drone into Fiji on behalf of someone else? Were there any issues?

Was the Customs clearance straightforward or did you experience any delays?

I'm trying to make sure everything is done properly so my friend doesn't run into unnecessary problems at the airport.

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually brought a drone into Fiji recently, particularly through Nadi Airport.

Anybody know whats happening Fiji day Melbourne
