How can a US citizen move to Fiji?

US citizens can enter Fiji visa-free for four months as a tourist, extendable to six months total in any 12-month period. For longer stays, the main routes are the investor permit (requiring a minimum FJD 250,000, roughly USD 110,000, in a qualifying business), the work permit (employer-sponsored and tied to a specific role and salary threshold), and the spouse permit (for partners of Fiji citizens). There is no formal retirement-visa programme equivalent to Panama or Malaysia, so retirees typically combine an investor route with long-stay tourist entries and property ownership. Fiji has trialled remote-worker pilots in recent years, but a standalone digital-nomad visa has not been established. Permanent residency is achievable but slow, typically requiring continuous permit-based residence for several years. For the full picture, see our Fiji cost of living page.
