Limits of the record
  • Searched the Reside with family member tab for a list of qualifying relationships; the page does not enumerate them. The relationship-certificate requirement is relationship proof already cited under family_seo.r3 and is not reused here.

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 hold a permit in Fiji: documentary requirements include a copy of the principal applicant's passport biodata page and their Immigration permit stamp.

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?

Extensions are considered by the Immigration Department on merit, and must be lodged one month prior to the permit's expiry date; standard processing is 21 working days. The official source does not state an explicit initial validity period, the family member's rights or any independent or longer-term residence pathway.
