Working in Fiji

Fiji offers employment opportunities in resorts, hotels, restaurants, tourism, construction, retail, finance, healthcare and education. Many international hospitality jobs are concentrated around Nadi, Denarau, Coral Coast and Suva. Fijian culture is welcoming and community-focused, with strong traditions of family, village life, music, church and kava ceremonies. Lifestyle is generally relaxed, with warm weather, beaches, diving, hiking and boating available, although imported goods can be expensive and remote areas have fewer services. Most overseas employees need an employer-sponsored work permit before starting employment; requirements commonly include a valid passport, employment contract, qualifications and health or police documentation. Confirm current rules with Fiji Immigration and the employer. Relocation usually involves arranging accommodation, banking, tax registration, transport and medical insurance. Nadi is convenient for resort workers, while Suva offers a more urban environment and broader professional services.
