Exemption Status of Former Fiji Citizens (Exemption by Descent)

This exemption is available to individuals who can prove direct descent from a person who held Fijian citizenship on October 10, 1970, or who are registered in the Vola ni Kawa Bula. It provides the holder with broad rights, including the ability to work and study in Fiji without additional permits. It is a significant status for those seeking to reconnect with their Fijian heritage.
