Permanent Secretary for Commerce and Trade Shaheen Ali.

The Ministry of Commerce and Trade has created COVIDpass which is a digital portal where businesses with COVID-Safe plans can apply for passes to operate.

The Ministry says COVIDpass is a convenient, one-stop shop for all the necessary approvals required for businesses that can operate in a well-managed COVID-Safe way.

From Monday, 31st May 2021, the Ministry for Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport will only be issuing digital passes to businesses.

They say no other passes for businesses will be valid — and the Fiji Police Force will not accept any other passes.

The Ministry says through COVIDpass, they are taking a health-first approach, and they hope to see this adopted widely by the business community.

They further say the portal will not only allow them to make better decisions and make them more quickly, but it is also safer adding the approval process is all online.

The Ministry consulted the Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Health and the Fiji Police Force in the development of the COVIDpass portal adding as they go, they will fine-tune the system based on people’s feedback.

Businesses can log on to www.covidpass.mcttt.gov.fj to apply for their pass.

After lodging their application, the applicant will be provided with login credentials, which he/she can use to track or amend their application. If you have any questions or concerns please call 163.
