Which family relationships qualify?

Qualifying relatives are the principal permit holder's spouse and dependent unmarried children; the page gives the children's age limit inconsistently (under 18 in the eligibility summary, under 21 in the New Application tab).

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The page states two different age limits for dependent children (18 and 21); which one applies is not resolved by the captured text.

Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?

The sponsor is the principal applicant, who must already be a permit holder in Fiji; documentary requirements require a copy of the principal applicant's Immigration permit stamp.

What is important for proving marriage, partnership, parentage, custody, dependency or another qualifying relationship?

Relationship proof required includes a certified copy of the applicant's birth certificate and a certified copy of the principal applicant's birth certificate, marriage certificate or kinship certificate.

What important financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibilities apply?

A request/support letter confirming the relationship and financial support from the principal applicant is required, along with a bank statement from the principal applicant.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

Existing Co-Extensive Residence Permit holders may apply for an extension. Standard processing is 21 working days and the decision is notified by email; the page's application link points to the IMMI HUB portal. The official source does not state the permit's duration, the family member's rights or any path to independent or longer-term residence.

Limits of the record
  • The page does not state the permit's duration, what happens when dependency ends, or any path to independent or longer-term residence.

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
