Prepare the applicant, employer and any included dependants separately. Review each role and condition before adding or marking an item ready.
Only the New long-term work-permit route for non-Fiji adults aged 18 or over employed by a locally registered company, described by the Ministry as one to three years. First lodgement is normally offshore; the page identifies a Fiji-citizen spouse exception and a valid short-term-permit transition. Any included dependants are a legal spouse and children under 18. Excludes extensions, short-term applications, co-extensive applications, investors, NGO, maritime/fishing, secondment and overseas-employer routes. Existing study, residence, investor, visitor or business-visitor status requires separate route checking; this starter does not establish eligibility.
Public-source preparation starter. Check who each item applies to and whether it is due before or after grant; items are not automatically tailored to your application. The driver LTA/defensive-driving evidence is due after grant. Local readiness does not establish legal sufficiency, submission or approval, and the Ministry may request more evidence. The September 2026 administrative simplification is retained. Fees, individual eligibility, original-form inconsistencies and translation-country conflicts require separate checking.

- Applicant: one certified recent passport photo
For the principal applicant in a New long-term application: one certified passport photo taken within the previous three months.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - Applicant: certified or apostilled national police report
For the principal applicant: a national police report from the country of residence where the person has lived for 12 months or more. The New checklist gives one year of validity from issue and requires certification/apostille. Confirm the precise countries and documents for the person; the template does not infer a complete residence history.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - Applicant: medical report using the linked official form
For the principal applicant: obtain the medical report required by the New checklist; the listed validity is three months from issue. The official page links its Medical Report form. Plan the report date against the intended application date; no individual health assessment is made here.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - Applicant: certified passport biodata page and validity check
For the principal applicant: provide a certified passport biodata-page copy. The New checklist requires more than six months of passport validity; the employer guidance also asks that the passport cover the permit duration. If the proposed duration exceeds the remaining passport validity, clarify renewal or the grant period before relying on the six-month threshold.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab · Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Work in Fiji, employer information - Applicant: current curriculum vitae
For the principal applicant: prepare a curriculum vitae as listed under the New long-term permit checklist. This item does not add a prescribed CV format that the source does not specify.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - Applicant: certified academic qualification copies
For the principal applicant: prepare certified copies of academic qualifications as listed in the New checklist. Any role-specific professional endorsement is a separate conditional employer item below.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - Applicant: work-permit terms and conditions form
For the principal applicant: complete the current official work-permit Terms and Conditions form; the New checklist specifically refers to satisfying clauses 11 and 12. The September 2026 notice removes five administrative attachments from relevant standard applications. If an older form appears inconsistent, obtain current application-specific instructions; this template neither edits the official form nor reinstates removed attachments as universal requirements.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab · Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Work permit administrative streamlining, 14 September 2026 - Applicant: employee consent and declaration form
For the principal applicant: complete the Employee Consent and Declaration form linked from the current New long-term permit checklist. Use the official linked form; this template supplies no pre-filled declaration or signature.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - Applicant and employer: signed employment contract
For the principal applicant and the locally registered employer: prepare the signed employment contract, including the mandatory non-negotiable terms described in the employer guidance and the repatriation provisions. The contract must be understood by the worker and signed by both parties. This is a New employment application, not permission to work while awaiting a decision.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab · Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Work in Fiji, employer information - Employer: evidence that the worker understands the contract
For the sponsoring employer: the Work in Fiji guidance requires evidence that the worker understands the employment contract and that both parties have signed it. Retain that evidence with the signed contract. The public page does not prescribe one universal evidence format, so this template does not invent a compulsory certificate.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Work in Fiji, employer information - Employer, if applicable: professional authority endorsement
Only if the position requires endorsement from the relevant professional body or highest local authority: prepare that authority’s endorsement letter. The employer guidance gives health, agriculture and education as examples. Do not treat a professional endorsement as mandatory for every occupation.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab · Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Work in Fiji, employer information - Construction employer only: complete original project agreement
Only for a construction-sector application: prepare the original complete project/contract agreement with the relevant contracting companies or individuals. The New checklist requires the start and end dates, duration, project value, defect period and signatures of both parties. This construction requirement does not apply to every employer.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - Driver role only: authenticated international driving licence
Only when the proposed position is a driver: prepare the international driving licence authenticated by a Notary Public, Justice of the Peace or Commissioner of Oaths as stated on the New checklist. Do not add this item as a requirement for other occupations.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - Driver role: note the licence evidence due after grant
Driver roles only, after a permit is granted: the New page requires the full LTA driving licence and Defensive Driving Certificate within six months of grant, sent to the Ministry address shown on that page with the permit number and applicant name in the subject. This is a post-grant follow-up, not a document required from everyone at initial lodgement. No reminder or submission is created by this template.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - Each included dependant: one certified recent passport photo
Only for a dependant actually included in this New application: one certified passport photo from the previous three months. The page limits this application’s dependants to a legal spouse and children under 18; do not apply this item to an unmarried partner or adult child on a separate co-extensive route.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - Included adult spouse: national police report
Only for an included dependant aged 18 or over: the New dependant checklist requires a national police report valid for one year from issue. Within this template’s spouse/minor-child scope, that age condition concerns the adult spouse. It does not impose an adult police-report requirement on a child under 18 or bring an adult child into this application.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - Each included dependant: medical report
Only for each dependant included in this application: prepare the medical report listed by the New dependant checklist, valid for three months from issue. Use the Medical Report form linked by the official page; schedule it against the intended application date.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - Each included dependant: certified passport biodata page
Only for each included dependant: provide a certified passport biodata-page copy and check that the passport is valid for more than six months, as stated in the New dependant checklist. The principal applicant’s passport is not a substitute for the dependant’s own passport evidence.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - Included dependants: official residence terms form
Only where dependants are included: prepare the Residence Terms and Conditions form linked in the New dependant checklist. The principal applicant’s work-permit terms form is a different document; do not substitute it for the dependant residence terms.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - Included legal spouse: certified marriage certificate
Only if the legal spouse is included as a dependant: prepare the certified marriage certificate required by the New checklist. Do not request a marriage certificate from an applicant with no spouse included or treat a de-facto relationship as satisfying this spouse item.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - Every included dependant: certified birth certificate
For every included dependant, including an included spouse as well as each included child: the New checklist expressly lists a certified birth certificate for all dependants. Do not silently narrow this item to children only.
Fiji Ministry of Immigration: Long Term Work Permit, New tab - If translation is needed: notarised English translations
Only for documents requiring an English translation: the long-term page says the translation must be translated and notarised in the applicant’s country of residence. The general employer page uses country of origin wording instead. If those countries differ, confirm the accepted certification route for this application; do not invent a universal rule or require translation of documents already accepted in English.
