The Immigration Department will now liaise with various Embassies and High Commissions to provide them with a list of all those passports that have expired.

This is after 6 Indian nationals were arrested for allegedly using expired and fake passports to enter Fiji.

Director Immigration Major Nemani Vuniwaqa said through the Foreign Affairs Ministry, they will now clamp down on those immigrants who are entering the country illegally.

He said the current system is such that if the Canadian authorities and Interpol would not have informed the local authorities, the six would never have been arrested.
