Studying here? Reckon on roughly 35% less. Shared halls instead of a private flat is most of it, with a meal plan, a student travel pass and a campus you do not have to rent a desk in doing the rest. Phone, insurance and a social life cost the same either way.

Healthcare, taxes & language

The decisive three for a longer stay in Fiji.

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.

Taxes

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.

English

Very high — English is an official language alongside iTaukei (Fijian) and Fiji Hindi, and is used in government, business, tourism and schooling nationwide.
