Using a Fiji property purchase for Assured Income residence: checks before signing

Fiji’s Ministry of Immigration lists a qualifying FJD 100,000 remittance and/or a property purchase of at least that value for the later stage of Assured Income residence. If you intend to use a purchase, confirm two points before committing: whether you can lawfully acquire the property and whether Immigration will accept the transaction as evidence for your permit.

Have a Fiji lawyer check the title and buyer’s status

Provide the address, title reference, proposed owners and any documents supplied by the seller. Fiji’s Parliament introduced section 7A in 2014, addressing some acquisitions of residential land by non-residents, and amended it again in 2023. Ask your lawyer to check the current law against the buyer’s status, title, land use, location and any approvals needed.

Ask Immigration about the specific transaction

Give the Ministry the proposed ownership arrangement, price and settlement date. Ask which valuation and evidence it accepts, such as a registered title, valuation report or proof of payment. If you plan to buy jointly or pay in stages, confirm how it will assess the amount attributable to you and when you can submit the evidence.

Set the expected settlement and registration dates alongside your initial permit expiry. If completion could slip, ask the Ministry how it handles an unfinished transaction and whether a qualifying remittance is available in your circumstances. Keep the written answers, title checks and payment records together.
