To The Book

Following a number of in cidents where persons not born in Fiji but possessing residential status there were refused auto matic re-entry, the matter has been clarified by a statement from the Immigration section of the Fiji Police.

Although British subjects not born in Fiji gain residential status there after five years, they are barred from returning to Fiji, no matter how long they have lived there, if they remain away from the Colony for more than a year.

If such persons plan to return to Fiji, they will save themselves delay and bother in obtaining a new landing permit if they get the necessary passport en dorsement before leaving.
