Bula Somer!

Thank you for posting and sharing some of your wisdom in Fiji. I spent a lot of time in Fiji as a teenager and well into my adult life and my younger sister attended school in Suva whilst my mum worked there for Fiji Paralympic committee. Our family has had a lot to do with Fiji for 15+ years and it is definitely my spiritual home!

The reason for me writing is I noticed you mentioned on another thread that you purchased an investment via investment Fiji. I am ready to move back to Fiji on a more permanent basis and would like to open my own business there. I have attempted to look on the Fiji immigration website multiple times and I cannot get it to load, plus I've called the consular office in Canberra, but you just cannot speak to any one.

Do you have any advice or information about investment visas in Fiji? I would like to open my own business, so not necessarily something that is currently on the investment Fiji website. Do you know if it is at all possible to start something from scratch over there? Or any other information or advice you might have?

Vinaka!
Rachel

Hi,

I am new here so any help, advice, contacts or guidance would be so helpful. In short hubby and I have decided to give everything up in our home in Sydney and build a home back in my birth country Fiji.

I have done apt of reaserach however I would love some advice about;
- Pet relocation - small pup 10mths old born in Syd do I need to send application forms in advance? Is there a cargo fee by airline? I’ve been quoted $1200fjd by bio security thus far should I expect more?
- Visa application is scaring me, my husband is a Croatian born Australian citizen what visa would he need to reside in Fiji and start a business? Would we need to register tax file number etc? Is that hard?
