Overview
Three-year residence permit for foreign investors engaged in FTIB-approved business projects in Fiji, requiring a Foreign Investment Certificate and minimum investment of FJD 50,000.
The Three-Year Investor Permit is designed for foreign nationals who intend to engage in business activities within Fiji that have been approved by the relevant investment authorities. This permit serves as a residency pathway for entrepreneurs and business owners who are launching or operating smaller-scale projects. It requires applicants to demonstrate a genuine business proposal that contributes to the local economy, often focusing on sectors that create employment opportunities for Fijian citizens. The permit allows the holder to reside and work in the country for the duration of the three-year term, provided they continue to meet the conditions set by the Department of Immigration and maintain their approved business operations.
To qualify for this permit, applicants must typically show a minimum investment of FJD 50,000 in an approved business venture. The process involves obtaining a Foreign Investment Certificate and securing approval for the business project from the investment bureau before applying for the permit. Applicants must provide proof of personal funds, ensuring the capital is not sourced from unsecured loans, and demonstrate that the investment is being transferred into Fiji from abroad. This category is an excellent option for investors looking to establish a presence in the Fijian market while maintaining the flexibility to renew their status if their business continues to meet the necessary economic criteria.
