Investor Permit for Non-Citizen Investors

Overview

This is Fiji's Investor Permit for a non-citizen who wants to invest in and actively run a business in Fiji. The business must be approved by the trade and investment authority, evidenced through a Foreign Investment Certificate. The permit is tiered: a larger qualifying investment supports a longer permit (a multi-year permit is available for higher investment levels), while a smaller approved investment supports a shorter permit. It is issued by the Ministry of Immigration. This route is for people genuinely operating a business in Fiji, not a passive citizenship-by-investment scheme.
