Thanks for having me! I had a great time chatting and sharing my experience living in Fiji. Please let me know if you have any other Qs :)!
Thanks again to you! Great stuff.
Hey Chantae! I’m from Belize, considering moving out there to study law as it’s more affordable for me. I’m considering settling down out there as well. Would love to talk some more with you and your partners if that’s somehow possible! Please do let me know, I appreciate the consideration either way 😃
Am coming to Fiji thank you
You're blog was super helpful! I'm thinking of moving to wallis Island. Think I'll be spending quite a bit of time in Fiji :)
I grew up in Fiji and i'm still traumatized by those neighborhood dogs ! They will charge out (silently) out of no where for your ankles. Enjoyed the interview and she was spot on with everything she covered. Vinaka.
😁 Those dogs though! 😅 Thanks for watching.
LOL. That dog thing is funny as .
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fiji island is amazing love my island 🏝♥️
🥳
She's awesome. I would hire her as my guide if I ever reach Fiji.
Cool! Reach out to her. Any plans on heading to Fiji?
You have made my week! Please do get in touch if you ever come here :)
Make sure to book accommodation before going there. It can be very busy
Awesome video and informative. An update would be nice for the year 2023.
Thank you very much. Noted! Any update would go onto ExpatsEverywhere Explores (our new-ish 2nd channel). - Josh & Kalie
Thanks for the info very informative
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the comment.
I have lived in several countries over the years but not Fiji. I have been to Philippines, Okinawa, Miyako, Guam and Saipan and finally Costa Rica. Next trip to FIJI
How was Okinawa and Miyako? Also here's some islands to go to, Comoros, Mauritius, Cabo Verde, Saint Lucia, Hawaii, Kiribati, Bora Bora, Cocos, (Keeling) Mayotte, Cyprus and then there's some Greek, Spanish and french islands that are great also. Countries you should visit are Cambodia, Thailand, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, Turkey, Georgia, Portugal, Sweden, The Netherlands, Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala, South Korea and Jordan. There's alot honestly, maybe to many 😂.
Wow my country love Fiji
HOW do I explore this avenue more extensively? I'm very serious about taking this on as a lifestyle...
Goggle Fiji time .you can live this life style anywhere if you want in the world. Just keep in mind taking others lively hood. It's a small place
Any welding there
I so why would you ask someone about Figi that does not actually spend time there for a review? very bizarre to say the least
!
How can I start a life In Fiji as a boat skipper
Great question, but it's a bit out of our general realm of knowledge. We would have to source that answer for you.
Will I get a job there as a teacher
If you are on the NGO teat, you can "work" anywhere. I use " " because none of them actually do anything. Oh well.
Can you get your car shipped there or should you sell them.
You can ship a vehicle to Fiji that is no more than 5 years old. Most vehicles have diesel engines here.
What's the story with health care in Fiji? Is there a medical plan that can be purchased for a extended stay
Maybe the best place to start would be a company like www.insurednomads.com/
The reason that we suggest that is because we interviewed the founder of Insured Nomads, and he (Andrew) is a great guy that's really straight forward. Josh and Kalie of ExpatsEverywhere are moving to Portugal and are getting a plan through Insured Nomads that they're happy with. This is a genuine response and we're not getting any sort of kick back from Insured Nomads (although Josh said he wouldn't mind if Andrew of Insured Nomads would throw a dollar his way.)
Please don't hesitate to reach back out for help and we'll do our best.
Thanks for the comment!
I want to move to Fiji because they seem to stay out of war crimes down there lol
What the value of 1usd over there
dev bachu currently, 1 usd is worth 2.13 Fijian Dollars. That is down from the year high back in March, 2.36.
P
How many democrats in senate
You are not allowed to own property there you are not allowed to fish there you are not allowed to have firearms or Macy’s or any defensive weapons whatsoever it is only a place for tourists you can snorkel and you can do touristy things but you cannot Fish
No. You are totally wrong to say that you cannot own a property in Fiji. Fiji is a very democratic island nation. The native Fijians are called i Taukei. About 80 percent of the land belongs to them. Most of their lands are leased by tenant for agricultural purposes. And with consensus you can have a talk with a landowning unit if you want to build a property for residential purposes. Normally for residential purpose you will given a lease for 99 years. You will be given a Title for your residential property. Another 15 percent of the land is owned by government called Crown land which you can lease from the government. If you want to lease a land for agricultural purpose or for residential you can go direct to the Lands Department for more consultation. And 5% of the land are freehold which is own by an individual or as a family estate. In regards to this land you can buy direct from the owner. As an expatriate you can buy land in Fiji. Owner of the Red Bull has an island called Vatuvara Island in Vanua Levu. Many celebrities and billionaires have their private islands and hotels in Fiji.
She is ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All these islands along the pacific would make great hubs. Airlines need to give us far more options. Nobody enjoys a long flight. Nice video.
We agree!
