Republic of Fiji
Fiji administers immigration through the Ministry of Immigration. Headline routes include the work permit for skilled contracted workers, a tiered Investor Permit, and the Residence Permit on Assured Income for self-funded over-45s - a popular retiree route - alongside family and student permits. A 2026 citizenship reform is raising the naturalisation residence requirement and making permanent residence a stepping-stone to citizenship; naturalisation has been paused pending the new law.
