Bula everyone,
I have been to Fiji a number of times and have fallen in love with the Coral Coast, Pacific Harbour area in particular. I plan for my 17yo daughter and myself to move to Fiji by the end of the year, or early 2018.
My plan is to purchase property for investment whilst living there and I have an online business in Australia which I can operate from Fji. I would still like to work in Fiji and I'll start looking for employment from now until I leave. I'm an experience Employment consultant/recruiter and I'm currently studying to work in the Mental Health industry. Not sure if there are many opportunities in these industries.
Both our partners are Fijians so we are still currently which is the best way to turn for residency.
I'm looking forward to making contact/friends with others that have made the move and those that are in the process.
Any advise or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Vinaka

Not much jobs in recruitment and counseling, but there are few head hunters around.

Firstly, to work you must have work permit or be citizen. I am 13 year married to local, but still have to get work permit as non citizen.

As spouse I have right to reside only, not work, not study, not volunteer, not research.

If your partner is defacto you may not qualify spousal exemption. I suggest you spend some time at immigration to find out how your situation will be determined.

Thus I started my own consulting business...not cheap and have to go through InvestmentFiji.

Best of luck.
