Overview
Kiribati coverage is based on the official Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration immigration page and Kiribati Immigration temporary-entry forms. The reviewed public packet supports visitor, group visitor, transit, work, religious worker, student and investment visa coverage, plus visa-exemption, sponsorship, medical and police-certificate handling. Applicants should confirm the current fee, email filing route, supporting evidence and visa conditions with Kiribati Immigration before travel, work, study, sponsorship or investment. The official Investment Visa form says applicants should use it for an Investment Visa. It asks whether the principal applicant has an approved Foreign Investment Certificate from the Investment Promotion Division under the Foreign Investment Act 2018 and says that, without a Foreign Investment Certificate, the applicant is unable to proceed with the application.
