Overview

Person legally married to a Fiji citizen.

This status allows the foreign spouse of a Fijian citizen to reside in Fiji. While it provides exemption from student permit requirements for tertiary education, it does not automatically grant the right to work, necessitating a separate work permit application if employment is sought. The status remains valid as long as the marriage is legally recognized.
