Eligibility
This pathway may fit when the following route-specific requirements are met:
- Prior Fijian citizenship and current status as a citizen of another country or otherwise within the former-citizen registration rule.
- Documentary proof of the former status, identity, civil history, and current nationality.
- Good character and completion of the prescribed oath and registration process.
What This Route Allows
Successful registration restores Fijian citizenship and the rights attached to it under Fiji law.
What This Route Is Not
An ancestor's Fiji connection is not former citizenship. This route requires the applicant personally to have held Fiji citizenship.
Next Steps
- Request proof or a search of the former citizenship record.
- Gather current passport, birth, name-change, and loss records.
- Complete the former-citizen registration sections and oath form.
- Submit the application and respond to character or identity checks.
