Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time difference between FJT and COT?

During standard time, Colombia Time is 17 hours behind Fiji Time.

Does Fiji observe Daylight Saving Time?

Fiji officially abolished Daylight Saving Time in 2021, ending a practice it had observed intermittently since 1998. FJT now remains permanently fixed at UTC+12:00 throughout the entire year, with no seasonal clock changes.

Are Fiji Time (FJT) and New Zealand Time (NZST) the same?

FJT and New Zealand Standard Time (NZST) share the exact same UTC+12:00 offset during the Southern Hemisphere winter months, meaning Suva and Auckland run on identical clocks during that period. However, New Zealand shifts to UTC+13:00 during its summer under New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT), while Fiji stays fixed at UTC+12:00 year-round — placing the two zones one hour apart for roughly half of each year.

Does Colombia observe Daylight Saving Time?

Colombia does not observe Daylight Saving Time and has no current plans to do so. COT remains fixed at UTC-05:00 every day of the year, providing a consistent, unchanging reference point for international business and logistics.

How does Colombia Time (COT) align with the US?

COT (UTC-05:00) matches US Eastern Standard Time (EST) exactly during the Northern Hemisphere winter, creating zero offset between Bogotá and New York. During US Daylight Saving Time in summer, COT runs one hour behind Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC-04:00), maintaining a gap narrow enough that a full shared workday remains easily achievable — one of the tightest nearshore alignments available from South America.
