Hi, My colleague may be working in Fiji later this year. He is profoundly deaf and has a fully accredited Hearing Dog that has all the access rights that Guide Dogs for those who are blind have. He has identified that his dog can travel with him in ...
Hi Narni My apologies for the long delay... I heard back from my friend in Biosecurity in Fiji. His opinion is that he hasn't seen/heard of any guide dogs in Fiji. This makes me feel like it may be a struggle for people to come to an ... Read More

Hello Narni I myself have never seen a guide dog in Fiji (that doesn't mean they don't exist there) but they aren't common. Most landlords won't worry about dogs inside (unless it is a fancy type apartment). I have found the rental ... Read More

In retrospect, would you move again to Fiji? by Christine
Hi all, If you had to look back on your expat experience in Fiji, would you heartily say "letΒs do it again"? From the preparation stage to your actual everyday life in your new country, what did you enjoy the most? Would you do certain ...
Bula, I laughed at your 'BEST' where you mentioned don't go to Suva for the weather... how true! When I first moved to Suva, I would keep putting outings off for another time because of the weather. Then I learnt that you just have to ... Read More

Bula Missytia I think the best thing for you to do would be to start a business in Fiji. Coming across jobs for expats is getting harder and harder, and you won't be permitted stay long term without either a working permit, or resident permit. ... Read More
