Two months notice would be good.  It would mean that Fiji won't start DST before 
December 14.

Here are the notices of the past four years or so:

2010-10-13, 9 days notice:

2011-02-25, 9 days notice: 
http://www.fiji.gov.fj/Media-Center/Press-Releases/Daylight-savings-ends-on-March-6.aspx

2011-10-03, 20 days notice: 
http://www.fiji.gov.fj/Media-Center/Press-Releases/Daylight-saving-starts-October-23.aspx

2012-08-27, 55 days notice: 
http://www.fiji.gov.fj/Media-Center/Press-Releases/DAYLIGHT-SAVING-STARTS-ON-SUNDAY,-21st-OCTOBER.aspx

2013-08-30, 59 days notice: 
http://www.fiji.gov.fj/Media-Center/Press-Releases/DAYLIGHT-SAVING-STARTS-ON-SUNDAY,-27th-OCTOBER-201.aspx

Although they've done better since 2012, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say 
that they always give two months notice.
