Fiji Work Visa

About

A work visa in Fiji allows people from around the world to enter the nation and work for a local employer there. Noncitizens have a few alternatives for work permits, and the sort of permit they choose will depend on the type of work they want to do.

Work permit
This common permit is valid for any protracted employment that does not fall into one of the few categories. For this application, you, as the employer, are required to give a justification for not hiring a resident.

For Religious Purpose
For any work done in a religious setting, people must apply for this licence. Employees do not need endorsements, but they do need the church they intend to work for to register them legally.

Volunteer
This permit is required if a person intends to do volunteer work while travelling. There is no need for industry endorsement.

Eligibility

You are eligible for this visa if,

  • You have been offered a job by an employer in Fiji.
  • You should apply for one of the reasons mentioned above.
  • You must be proficient in English.

Documents

While applying for this visa, you must provide the following documents;

  • A valid passport along with other identity documents.
  • A thoroughly filled visa application form.
  • Proof that you have proper accommodations in the country and also provide the address to the place of your stay.
  • Provide your detailed curriculum vitae (CV), including your work experience.
  • Prove that you have a job lined up for you in the country.
  • Prove that you don't have a criminal or medical history.

Process

A number of paperwork and authorizations are needed in order to obtain a work visa for legitimate employment. Once you have all the documents in order, you may go on with the application process.

Visa Processing Time
From the day the application file is received, the Fiji Department of Migration's visa division will need a couple of weeks to complete a visa application. If further information or papers are needed to process the application because it is incomplete, this time frame may be extended.

How to Apply
The process starts with the employer and employee filling out the application together. This procedure must be finished before the employee's arrival; thus, they must have a position set up with your business before travelling abroad.

Once you have done that, you should submit the required documents to the nearest embassy, pay for the visa fee and wait for confirmation. Moreover, you can also hire a professional to avoid any trouble.

Duration & Fees

Duration
The work visa in Fiji is valid from 12 months to three years. The validity of the work permit mostly depends on your job in the country.

Fees
A work visa to Fiji costs 452 FJD, which equals around 200 EUR. This is the visa processing fee and does not cover anything other than that.

FAQS

Is it possible to extend your work visa in Fiji?
If the person continues to meet the requirements for eligibility, there is no restriction on how long a permit may be renewed.

Is it easy to get a good job in Fiji?
It can be very challenging to get a job once you arrive in Fiji, so ex-pats should start looking for a job as soon as they can to secure a position before moving.
