Investor Permit Fiji — investor — The Migration Route

FJD500,000 is a boundary, not an entry ticket

It’s easy to confuse the threshold for the longer term with a minimum entry floor for the programme overall — these are different things.

What the process consists of

The key step is Foreign Investment Certificate (FIC) approval from the Fiji Trade and Investment Bureau, not simply transferring funds.

How the process runs

Preparing shareholder documents and a business plan

For Foreign Investment Certificate approval.

Confirming rights to land/building

Ownership, lease, or an option to buy/lease.

Obtaining FIC approval from the Fiji Trade and Investment Bureau

The key step determining project approval.

Filing for the Investor Permit

A $650.05 fee, 21 working days processing.

Receiving a 3- or 7-year permit

Depending on the investment amount relative to FJD500,000.

A good fit if

You have an investment from FJD500,000 (≈$225,000) — opens a 7-year permit outright.

Or a smaller amount — a 3-year permit is available, but the exact lower floor needs confirming through the FIC process.

You have rights to land or a building for the project — ownership, lease, or an option.

You’re prepared for Foreign Investment Certificate approval as the key step, not just wiring funds.

A poor fit if

You’re relying on FJD50,000 as a guaranteed lower floor — the consular source doesn’t confirm it, only noting it appears in other materials.

You expect one fixed figure for the whole programme — in reality FJD500,000 only separates the 3- and 7-year options, not an entry floor as such.

You lack rights to land or a building for the project — mandatory alongside the investment.

You need certainty on the currency of the $500,000 figure for the 7-year permit — the source doesn’t fully clarify whether it’s FJD or another currency.

Frequent questions

Is it true a minimum of FJD50,000 is required?

Not confirmed by the consular source — per the available data, this figure appears in isolated secondary materials as a lower floor for the 3-year permit, but the official/consular source doesn’t state a fixed floor for that tier.

What determines the 3 vs 7-year difference?

Per the available data, the investment amount relative to FJD500,000 (≈$225,000) — from that amount the permit is issued for 7 years outright, below it, 3 years.

What is the Foreign Investment Certificate?

Per the available data, it’s approval from the Fiji Trade and Investment Bureau requiring shareholder documents, banker references, and proof of funds — a key step separate from the investment transfer itself.

Are land/building rights required?

Yes — per the available data, the applicant must confirm ownership, lease, or an option to buy/lease land or a building for the project.

How much does filing cost?

Per the available data, the official fee is $650.05, with processing taking 21 working days.

Where can I get exact current figures?

Per the available data, Fiji’s official Immigration Department site doesn’t detail investment thresholds — contacting the Immigration Department or the Fiji Trade and Investment Bureau directly is recommended.
