When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Rio de Janeiro and Suva don't overlap on the same weekday. Suva is 15 hours ahead of Rio de Janeiro.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 4 PM–8 PM in Rio de Janeiro (7 AM–11 AM the next day in Suva) — suggest 6:00 PM Rio de Janeiro (9:00 AM Suva).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
