Bond Required From
In Fiji
Yachtsmen visiting Fiji in future will be required to put up a bond of £lOO on first arrival in the Colony, irrespective of the size of their yachts, or number of crew.
The bond will not be released till the yacht has left Fiji waters, and will be forfeited if the Government has to incur expenditure on repatriat ing a crew member or for any similar reason.
The bond may be in cash, or in the form of a guarantee by a bank or a person of substance. The owner, or the master if there is no owner in Fiji, will be required to put up the bond.
The Principal Immigration Officer, who is also the Commissioner of Police, has discretion to insist on a larger bond if he considers it war ranted.
