Fiji Citizenship for Former Citizens

Adults who personally held Fiji citizenship can apply to become citizens again through registration. You need proof of your former status and must complete the required identity, character, and oath checks.
- Who can apply
- Eligible adults who personally held Fiji citizenship
- Proof
- Former citizenship, identity, current nationality, and how the earlier status ended
- Other checks
- Good character and the required oath
Summary
Former Fiji citizens may be able to regain citizenship through registration if they personally lost it in a situation covered by the law. Records of the earlier status, how it ended and the current nationality are therefore central to the application.
Eligible adults must also satisfy identity and character checks and complete the required oath and registration. An ancestor's Fiji connection does not make someone a former citizen, so family-origin cases need a different assessment.
