Rather, they have a hotspot that can be used all throughout the country. The internet is not censored in Fiji, though some think that it is monitored by the government. Hi Love your site its very informative. I was wondering if you know if its allowed to bring pets from Australia into Fiji, as I have a cat and a small dog. Any info on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Brian. Hey Brian, I have heard of expats bringing their pets into Fiji. I have helped many transitions by taking out the trial and error of shopping, eating, activities and moving pets. Hope to see you around. Hey Bex, Do you know where you will be living? Many international families enroll their kids in International School Suva — but it is quite expensive per year for fees, and I believe it can be a challenge to get into the local schools.

Expats are often employed in education, tourism and the NGO sectors. That said, it can be difficult for foreigners to get a work permit for Fiji, so potential expats should ensure that they have their documentation ready before they move.
Expat accommodation in Suva and Nadi is relatively expensive because of the limited supply, so it can often take time for new arrivals to find suitable accommodation. Most expat jobs are based in Suva, Nadi or one of the many surrounding island resorts. Expats can head to dozens of resorts sprinkled around Viti Levu, explore the island's remote jungle interior or travel to one of the smaller nearby islands. Many spend their weekends sailing, surfing or diving on the surrounding coral reefs. For those moving to Fiji with children, there are a few international schools in Suva and Nadi that teach foreign curricula.
While Fiji has both public and private healthcare options, most expats use small private hospitals in Suva and Nadi. These offer a good basic standard of healthcare; however, they are limited in terms of their diagnostic, specialist and surgical abilities. Expats should therefore ensure they have health insurance that includes repatriation to hospitals in Australia and New Zealand, if necessary, especially in complicated or emergency cases.
Though not perfect, Fiji has a lot to offer adventurous expats. To be on island time. Sometimes, if you let the owner know you plan to live at the residence for a long time, you can work a deal. Other then that, they see your face and automatically think you have money. There are a couple of big supermarkets that feature imported foods and products. The price is high. You also have the traffic, noise and crowds in Suva. On the positive side, there are the government offices and the American Embassy and you get to mingle with mostly professional expats at the happy hour bars.
There are night clubs, a good supermarket and a small community of expats. Suva on a smaller scale. Lautoka, the sugar town, is north of Nadi and called the sugar town because of the large amount of sugar cane farms and the ever-present sugar train shugging through.
Lautoka is quieter and slower than Nadi. A quaint place where you can find lace mosquito nets and unique pots and early century kitchen do-dads that can only be found here in second-hand shops. Rents are cheaper. Not many expats. Coming back down southeast of Nadi but still on the west side of the island is Sigatoka Sing ga toka , a small one road town.
It was a one bridge town before hurricane Sina destroyed half of it. It was one lane with a stop light on each end. Traffic going to Nadi had to wait until traffic going to Suva cleared. The government was building a four-lane bridge when I left.
Thats where the majority of the vegetables on the island are grown. The Sigatoka market is great though Saturday is best.
The cost of living in Fiji is Almost everyone in Fiji speaks English because it is the official language. The Fijian language, however, is preserved and widely spoken in many different dialects. It means life and it may well be the first Fijian word you learn. The climate is pleasant with maximum temperatures rarely moving beyond degrees Celsius 78 — 87 F.
December is the rainy season with intermittent downpours that ensure Fiji stays lush and green. Fiji is free from malaria, yellow fever and major tropical diseases that are endemic to most tropical countries.
