Veterans & Serving Personal

The British Government has announced that Commonwealth veterans who have served for at least 6 years or have been medically discharged will no longer have to pay visa fees to remain in the UK however, those who have served for less than 6 years and family members are not included.

We will update ASAP once we receive the full guidelines.

Visa fees scrapped for Non-UK Service Personnel In recognition of the immensely valuable contribution that thousands of overseas personnel make to the UK while serving, the Government has announced that visa fees will be waived for those who have served in the UK Armed Forces for a minimum period of six years or been discharged due to an illness....

Congratulations to Her Majesty The Queen, who today marks 70 years of her reign.

We’re honoured to have served her all these years and to serve her in the years to come.

God Bless You 🇬🇧🇫🇯 God Save The Queen 🙏

Many congratulations to all from The Royal British Legion Fiji 👏🇬🇧 🇫🇯
