The Minister for Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport, Faiyaz Koya, wishes to advise the public that the Fijian Government has further extended the expiry date of the permit, licence, certificates, or registrations as contained in the Land Transport (COVID-19 Response) (Amendment) (No.2) Regulations 2021.

Initially, any permit, licence, certificate, or registration that expired or was due for renewal on or after April 19, 2021, was given until August 19, 2021.

The date has now been further extended to October 19, 2021.

“In effect, for those whose, permit, licence, certificate or registration have expired since the 19 April 2021, have now until the 19 October 2021 to renew,” said the minister.

The extension is not applicable to permit, licence, certificate, or registration that is being processed for cancellation by the Land Transport Authority (LTA).

“LTA customers are urged not to wait till October 19, 2021, but to make arrangements with its nearest LTA office to do the necessary renewals for the permit, licence, certificates or registrations within this extended period to avoid long queues and overcrowding,” said Mr Koya.

The ministry emphasised the need for adherence to all health and hygiene protocols, including installing the careFIJI mobile application and keeping the device Bluetooth turned on.
