Hi Good Day!


I'm currently processing my working application in Fiji Island, Is Fiji a safe and great place to work as of the current time. How about the cost of living? I hope you can share any ideas about working in Fiji. Thank you a lot.

Hello Sairly,


Welcome to Expat.com 1f600.svg


Since you commented on an old thread, I have moved your post to start a new discussion on the Fiji forum.


Hopefully, you will be able to gather some information here.


Cheers,

Yes Fiji is a safe place as it is also a tourist destination. Cost of Living is not that expensive but housing rates are expensive depending on your desired housing features and location.


Where in Fiji will you be staying and company that you will be working for? I may be able to assist you.
