Fiji citizens travelling in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland should be aware that the High Commission can only provide a very basic safety net for travellers in difficulty. Travellers need to be aware that Fiji citizens who enter a foreign state become subject to its laws and are legally accountable for acts they commit on its territory. In the event of a Fiji citizen finding him or herself in difficulty, Fiji High Commission Officers will seek to ensure that Fiji citizens receive the benefit of the same laws, administration, protection and means of redress which the foreign state affords its own subjects.
If you do happen to encounter serious problems while you are in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ,you should seek the assistance of the Fiji High Commission. However, there are very clear limits to what the Fiji High Commission can do.
