Renewing a tourist Visa

10 years ago
Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and am planning to move to Fiji from the U.S. in May. I appreciate any help with these questions about the tourist visa:
1) Is the three month visa pretty much automatically extended to six months after doing the necessary paperwork in Suva?
2) When I enter the country the first time, will it be okay to show my plane ticket out of there dated six months hence even though I do not yet have the extension?
3) Can that plane ticket be round trip? Ie. In November I will be visiting family in Chicago for a week. After that, the plan is to go right back to Fiji so it will be a round trip ticket for the event in Chicago and it will be, essentially, a visa run.
4) sort of a follow up of #3: is there some limit as to how much time in a one year period I can be spending there? I suspect not, but just wish to check. Thank you again, John
