Recent devaluation of the FJD and a growing understanding that the retirement industry as well as the
prosperous tourism sector are important sources of overseas funds mean that retirement in Fiji remains
a viable option. A number of high standard developments are available and this would be a good time to
buy in.

LAND TENURE
Purchasers will receive a native lease title to their lot under an arrangement similar to strata
title. The term of the sublease will expire in 99 years.
Native title comprises approximately 85% of the land in Fiji.
All native land in Fiji is administered by the Native Land Trust Board who issues all leases.
Many of the large integrated tourism and residential developments in Fiji are on Native
Land, including the Sheraton Villas, Hilton Villas, and Radisson Apartments.
The nature of the title allows for use as either residential or income as the lot is within the
First Landing Integrated Tourism and Residential Development at Vuda Point.
Owners can, in the future, sell their property for which a sale premium is paid to the Native
Land Trust Board. This premium for on sale by the owner is 5% of the unimproved capital
value if the land is used primarily for residential purposes and 2% of the sale value if the
land is used primarily for tourism purposes.
Owners can also use the land as security for bank finance. Foreign investors are able to
borrow funds in Fiji to purchase their land subject to commercial bank lending policies and
requirements in addition to Reserve Bank of Fiji approval.
KPG can recommend local law firms experienced with the sales documents and process to
act for the purchaser .
Annual rent payable to the NLTB is $F1000 for a quarter acre lot .
In addition there is a modest contribution to the maintenance of any common areas If the lot
is used for income purposes the annual rent is calculated as a percentage of gross revenue
earned (2.75% up to3.5%).

Foreign Investment
A move to a foreign locale can seem like a daunting task. For those who are seeking the adventure of either relocating for
their retirement or wanting a second home in the island, it is recommended to use the services of a professional company
that can assist with all aspects of the purchase of property, immigration and moving logistics.
KPGCA IMMIGRATION SERVICES is in the business of assisting overseas buyers and investors in the Fiji Islands.
All persons who qualify for "Residence on assured income" in Fiji are granted an automatic year-round visa to reside in
the Fiji Islands. A qualified resident is be exempt from the payment of all taxes and duties on all income or receipts
which accrue to him or her from a source outside of Fiji whether that income is generated from work performed or from
an investment. In addition to that there are NO property taxes in the Fiji Islands. For 12 months after the residency is
granted, residents are allowed to import personal belongings duty-free as outlined by the Fiji Customs department
.
Incentives for Retirees and Overseas Investors in Fiji (2009)
A residence permit on assured income may be issued to a person who has assets, realizable to the satisfaction of the
Director of Immigration, outside the Fiji Islands at his/her disposal of an amount sufficient to ensure that he/she will not

in the Fiji Islands. They may invest in any business venture approved by the Fiji Islands Trade and Investment Bureau.
The policy on residence permit on assured income is as set out below:
* the principal applicant must be at least 45 years of age and carry health insurance; should have an assured income and
should not seek employment in the Fiji Islands; must deposit a sum of $100,000.00 in a resident account of a local bank

* an additional F$30,000.00 for a family of two (2) or F$40,000.00 for a family of up to five (5) members must be deposited

Bula David,
How are you? It was nice meeting you too especially with the inspiration of investing in Fiji.
For foreign investors purchasing land and or house and land packages at Vuda point, if it’s a personal
investment to reside only then you need not come through FTIB. However you will have to go through the
Native Land Trust Board leasing procedures.
Procedures : The investor will buy from the developer, subsequently, they enter into a sale and purchase
agreement. Once that documented is firmed up, it is then presented to the Native Land Trust Board
[NLTB]. The Board will then issue a lease direct to the purchaser as per sale and purchase agreement
conditions.
The lease will be a 99 year lease. You can always liaise further with NLTB for more
information/clarification.
I have a document attached for your perusal on guidelines in obtaining Ministerial consent for dealings in
Crown/State and Freehold land.
It does not really matter where your purchasers are from. They can purchase for personal investment. But
once you engage in it commercially for eg: renting and selling then obviously you will require FTIB
registration approval to engage in that particular activity. I am attaching the application form for that as
well. Take note that on page 5 of the application form are the requirements/documents that need to
accompany their application. An application fee of $2812.50 is applicable yet not refundable.
I trust that the above will suffice.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance.
Kind regards
Yvonne Ravaga

Bula David, As per the issues /queries raised by you I believe the land in question is the development lease and the sale would be after the development in your lease conditions is complied with. Therefore: 1. You will have to prepare scheme plan for the s/d to be approved by local authority and Town & Country Planning after sorting the necessary survey approval from us 2. NLTB to be provided with the approved survey plan before we issue registered lease on individual lots subject to payment of our fees/cost as per the condition of your development lease. 3. According to the conditions of residential lease, tenant will have 2 years from date of commencement of lease to erect building for dwelling purpose after building plans are approved by NLTB 4. The current procedure on renewal after expiry is tenant will have to inform us in writing not earlier than 2 years and not later than one year before expiry of their intention to renew and the Board will at that time decide whether to renew or not to renew the lease and the issue of compensation will be discussed then. Please note that most of the answers to your questions raised herein is already in your lease document. I have attached a copy of same and highlighted in red some conditions that you may need to go through. I hope I have managed to clarify your queries and please feel free to contact me if you still have any questions. Vinaka Sadhna Naidu

Dear Mr Kirkham As per your enquires we advise as follows:  the policy on borrowing to purchase land and house requires that this is to be fully financed from offshore;  where there is a policy allowed for borrowing by non‐resident individuals as per the attached guidelines, applications are to be vetted by the bank to ensure that it falls within our policy and submitted to Reserve Bank;  For future remittance of funds from sale of property, approval is readily given provided the investor has recorded their investment with Reserve Bank (on Form I.3, attached) and is subject to tax clearance from Inland Revenue Department;  Approval of the Reserve Bank is not required for sale of land but requires Minister of Land’s consent;  Exemption for approved project status may be considered if sufficient evidence is provided to satisfy our requirements as per a) in the attached guidelines. Please let me know if you require further clarifications.
