Standard four month visitor visa upon arrival. Can be extended another two months while here. Then leave and reenter.
Do not overstay a single day or you get a 12 month ban.
Spouse visa different, still can't work...and they will get bored.
If you think Fiji is an idyllic, picture postcard place to live and work you stand to be disappointed.
Entertainment is limited unless you want to drink. The novelty of cocktails on the beach at sunset will soon wear off.
Cost of living has increased, but the economy is booming.
You can now get good quality/expatriate food lines which were scarce 10 years ago.
Cinema is cheap and we get most movies before US wide screen release.
Locals will challenge every moral that you ever learnt. Consider it a second education
Infrastructure especially roads have improved out of sight.
When you hear someone call you 'gora' behind your back, it means they love you in their own special way
Fishing is ****. Try PNG if you're an angler.
FJ is making money, aircraft on order and as a whole fairly new fleet. It wouldn't surprise me if the fourth A330 is coming, with Singapore and San Francisco added and talk of a mainland China destination, the current three are working hard
