Healthcare, taxes & language
The decisive three for a longer stay — with a source to verify each yourself.
Healthcare
Public hospitals (e.g. CWM Suva, Lautoka, Labasa) provide low-cost but resource-constrained care, while private facilities in Suva, Nadi and Lautoka offer better-equipped outpatient and elective services; complex cases are commonly referred to Australia or New Zealand.
Tip: pair with travel-medical + medical-evacuation cover.
Tax on foreign & pension income
Fiji residents are taxed on worldwide income, so foreign investment, employment and pension income is generally assessable at resident rates (0% up to FJD 30,000, then 7–20%), subject to foreign tax credits and treaty relief.
Not tax advice — confirm with a local professional.
English proficiency
English is an official language alongside iTaukei (Fijian) and Fiji Hindi, and is used in government, business, tourism and schooling nationwide.
