The Ministry of Defence, National Security and Immigration will receive $750,000 to purchase hardware and software that will allow passports to be issued from different divisions and embassies.

This was announced during the 2016 National Budget. This will focus on offices in Labasa, Lautoka and Macuata.

Minister for Finance Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says this will be a significant convenience for Fijians living outside of Suva who will no longer have to bear the expense to travel all the way to Suva to get a passport.
