Residence Permit on Assured Income

The Residence Permit on Assured Income is specifically designed for foreign nationals who possess sufficient offshore assets and a reliable, independent source of income to support themselves while living in Fiji. This category is primarily aimed at retirees or individuals who do not intend to seek local employment, ensuring they will not become a burden on the state's public funds. By requiring proof of financial self-sufficiency, Fiji attracts individuals who wish to enjoy the country's lifestyle and climate while contributing to the local economy through their personal spending and investments, without competing for jobs in the local labor market.

To be eligible, the principal applicant must generally be aged 45 or older and must demonstrate the ability to maintain themselves through offshore income or assets. A key requirement is the deposit of a specified sum, typically FJD 100,000, into a resident account at a local bank upon approval, though this may be waived if the applicant has purchased property of equivalent value in Fiji. Applicants must also provide medical reports, police clearances, and evidence of adequate health insurance. This permit offers a secure and straightforward pathway for those seeking a peaceful, long-term residency in Fiji, provided they can prove their financial stability and commitment to the country's regulatory standards.
