Visa Information
If you do not have time to stop over in Honolulu to obtain your visa from the Consulate of Kiribati, you may enclose a completed visa application form along with a photocopy of the informational page of your passport and mail it to the address above.
Be careful to adjust the photocopy machine in order to make a clear and recognizable copy of your photograph.
The visa will be stamped on the photocopy page and returned to you by US Postal Service first-class mail.
You must then fold the visa paper and attach it securely to a visa page in your passport with the visa stamp facing outward.
This “visa paper” is issued in lieu of a requirement to send your passport with the application, and the visa page must remain attached to the passport.
US Official and Diplomatic passport holders must submit a letter from the sending department or agency, explaining the purpose of the travel and dates of the intended visit.
