The American ambassador to Fiji is also accredited to Kiribati, Nauru, Tonga, and Tuvalu.  The Embassy’s Consular Section offers a full range of American citizen and visa services for Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Tonga, Tuvalu, and the French territories in the South Pacific: French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and Wallis and Futuna.

The embassy  says it is  reaching out to the Governments of Kiribati and Tuvalu to better understand the countries’ emergency needs in the aftermath of Tropical Cyclone Pam. It issued a  disaster declaration for Tuvalu and is reportedly working with relief agencies to address the immediate needs of those affected by the storm.
