Residency=Work Permit?

Bula Tim

If your spouse is a Fiji resident,You entitled to work as a fijian permit holder through marriage.Let me check for more info and will revert.Since your spouse is a Fiji citizen you can get personal effects and vehicle under her name duty FREE as long as she is returning residence.

shoot me a phone call or send me your email..i shall revert to it.

Billmac,

thanks a lot for your help. I will private message you my email address.

Information on the gov website is very brief and I emailed Fiji Consulate in Sydney 2 weeks ago but i assume i probably wont get a reply any time soon. typical Fiji time i guess.

Vinaka!

oh it has been awhile.... still awaiting for response from Fiji Consulate... LOL.
meanwhile in life my wife gave birth to a little Aus/Fijian boy few months ago so looks like i wont be 'expatting' anytime soon. the little boy might want to follow his/Haynes' dream to play for Fiji7 in 20yrs time.
best of luck all.

I am going to Fiji next month and want to explore residency there.  How long a process is that?  On the website, it says that if you can prove sufficient income, then it is not a problem.  What is required?  I have $1,370 USD per month in pension from the United States Government - I am a U.S. citizen.

Hello, I see that you posted three years ago...  Not sure if you will see this message, but wanted to ask you about working in Fiji.  I looked online on government site and it did not say anything about 3-year wait...  I am going there next month, and was hoping to apply for residency and work part-time as I have a U.S. pension that will convert into about $2,700 Fijian.  Is that enough to live on?  Thank you, Livia
