Student Permit

Overview

This is Fiji's Student Permit for a non-citizen accepted to study at a recognised institution in Fiji. You apply with an acceptance letter for the current academic year and show you can support yourself during your studies. It is issued by the Ministry of Immigration. A spouse and dependent children can usually be included so they can reside with you. The permit covers your period of study and is renewed as your course continues; it is not in itself a route to settlement.
