Fiji Assured Income residence: what to check before remitting FJD 100,000
If you plan to use a remittance to qualify for the remaining term of Fiji’s Assured Income residence permit, confirm the payment instructions and acceptable evidence with Fiji Immigration before sending money. The Ministry describes an initial six-month permit followed by a remaining term of two and a half years after it receives qualifying evidence of a FJD 100,000 remittance and/or a qualifying property purchase. The public page does not specify how it treats every payment arrangement.
Confirm the account, currency and amount that will count
Send Immigration your permit reference and ask which type of account and account holder it accepts, when the money should arrive and whether it assesses the amount credited in Fiji. Ask specifically about joint accounts, transfers sent in several payments and any proposed combination of remittance and property evidence. Keep its written instructions with your approval papers.
Ask your bank to explain the exchange rate and any sender, intermediary or receiving charges. If deductions or exchange-rate changes reduce the amount received, ask Immigration how to address the shortfall. Keep the sending receipt and the receiving statement together so the dates, currency, sender and amount credited can be matched.
Match the evidence to the deadline on your permit
Write down the expiry date of your first permit, the anticipated credit date and when the receiving bank can issue its record. If a bank review or transfer delay could run past the permit expiry, contact Immigration promptly to check your status and what evidence it wants. Use the submission channel it specifies and retain the acknowledgement.
The Ministry’s current programme page and the embassy’s summary give different levels of detail about funding arrangements. Ask the authority handling your file which account and proof it requires in your case before you commit the funds.
