Summary

Fiji's Co-Extensive Residence Permit allows certain dependents to reside with a principal family member who holds a Fiji permit. It is a derivative family permit, not an independent immigration route.

Pathway fit check

Eligibility

For a new application, Fiji Immigration identifies the spouse and dependent unmarried child under 18 as eligible family members. The file must show the principal applicant's permit, the family relationship, support and funds, and the current medical, police, travel, identity, and application records.

What This Route Allows

The approved dependent can enter and reside with the principal permit holder for the authorized period and subject to the permit's conditions.

What This Route Is Not

It is not permanent residence and does not continue independently if the principal status ends. It should not be confused with the separate exemption categories for a spouse or child of a Fiji citizen.

Next Steps

  1. Confirm the principal family member's exact Fiji permit and validity.
  2. Confirm that the applicant is a spouse or dependent unmarried child within the age rule.
  3. Gather relationship, support, permit, medical, police, and travel records.
  4. Check how the requested dependent-permit period aligns with the principal permit.
