Community Development & Advisory

The online system named "Fisheries eLicensing System" was developed by FFA assisted by the ICT and Licensing Staff of the Ministry. This is only Phase 1 - which is only the applications for Foreign Fishing Vessel, Domestic Vessels, Exporters and Processors. Phase 2 will be looking at the rest of the applications forms for other fisheries (i.e inshore fisheries and costal fisheries)

You can access to this eLicensing application in our Ministry of Fisheries website or www.tongafish.gov.to, and under Application Forms there is a eLicensing as it shows in the images below.
