## [Fiji Immigration Law: Recent policy change on 14 day business permits](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/fiji-immigration-law-recent-policy-change-on-14-day-business-permits)

** Apr 23, 2018 / by [Seini Tinaikoro](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/author/seini-tinaikoro) posted in [Disciplinary process](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/disciplinary-process), [Fiji immigration law](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/fiji-immigration-law), [Fiji work permits](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/fiji-work-permits), [Investing in Fiji](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/investing-in-fiji), [Commercial law Fiji](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/commercial-law-fiji), [Fiji lawyers](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/fiji-lawyers)

In our Commercial Law update issued on 28 January, 2018 we provided an update on the policy changes made by the Immigration Department regarding work permits which can be found [here](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/fiji-immigration-law-policy-change-regarding-extension-of-business-permits)

This further update specifically addresses recent policy changes by the Immigration Department to the 14 days business permit that may, once issued, be extended up to 3 months. This policy change by Fiji's Immigration Department means that it has now reverted to its original policy that enables 14 days business permits be extended for a period of up to 3 months by operation of section 9 (2) (c) of the Immigration Act 2003.

** Jan 29, 2018 / by [Ronlyn Sahib](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/author/ronlyn-sahib) posted in [Fiji law](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/fiji-law), [Fiji immigration law](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/fiji-immigration-law), [Fiji work permits](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/fiji-work-permits)

As of 16 January 2018, the Fiji Immigration Department will no longer accept the following applications:

- Short term work permit application – a type of permit given to an applicant for a term up to six months where the employer can show that the applicant’s expertise and knowledge is required urgently in Fiji; and
- Extension of 14-day business visa – an extension of up to three (3) months granted by operation of Section 9 (2) (c) of the Immigration Act 2003.

We briefly update on this change in Fiji Immigration policy.
