Overview
Permit for non-citizens to undertake internship or practical training at an approved institution or organization in Fiji, available for both short-term (under 3 months) and extended (3+ months) attachments.
The Internship & Training Attachment Permit is established under the authority of the Fiji Immigration Act 2003, specifically designed to facilitate professional development for non-citizens. This permit fills the gap for individuals who are not seeking long-term employment but require practical, hands-on experience within a Fijian organization to complete their educational or professional training. It provides a legal mechanism for reputable local institutions to host international trainees, ensuring that these placements are structured, approved, and beneficial to both the intern and the host organization.
This permit is for non-citizens who have secured an internship or practical training placement at a locally approved, reputable institution or organization. It is ideal for students or early-career professionals looking to gain industry-specific experience. What makes this permit distinctive is the requirement for a formal sponsorship letter, either from a local or overseas entity, and the necessity of demonstrating at least one year of relevant experience, ensuring that interns are prepared to contribute meaningfully to their host organization during their stay.
