All former Fiji citizens and descendants who are passport holders of other countries will not be facing any immigration issues when entering Fiji.
This was highlighted by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Hon. Biman Prasad when he officiated at the opening of Oceania Fiberglass Pte Ltd in Nausori today (14.08.23).
“Our people who are living outside of Fiji have Fiji in their hearts and minds all the time. We are encouraged to see that many of them are coming back and investing and making sure that they contribute with their finances, newfound skills, knowledge, and wisdom.”
“As a Government, we are determined to encourage that. We want to provide all the support, remove all the barriers and the bottlenecks that might have existed before. The Government has already changed that Immigration Law, and soon with the new regulations, all former Fiji citizens and their descendants who left Fiji and are holding other passports, will not need a permit anymore when they come to Fiji. That includes anyone – descendants of any Fiji citizen,” DPM Prasad said.
DPM Prasad shared that it is always an auspicious occasion when local businesses open and provide services in the local and international markets. Employment opportunities are created contribution to the country’s GDP increases.
Oceania Fiberglass Pte Ltd are the sole manufacturers of fiberglass products in Fiji and was established last year. Its shareholders are all former residents of Fiji now living in British Columbia and the United States of America.
