No dedicated digital nomad visa · Canadian applicants
Moving to Fiji as a remote worker: guide for Canadians (2026)
Fiji has no dedicated digital nomad visa, so Canadians who want to base themselves there use Visitor permit (4 months on arrival) or Investor and business permits instead. That is the honest starting point — there is no remote-work permit to apply for, and anyone selling you one is selling fiction. Fiji has no digital nomad visa; visitors get 4 months on arrival, extendable, which covers most slow-travel stays.

How to apply from Canada
1Pick the right alternative route
Fiji has no nomad-specific permit, so Canadians choose from the documented alternatives in the country guide — usually a long-stay visitor route or a freelance/self-employed permit where one exists.
2Apply from Canada
Canadians apply through Fiji's standard consular channels for the alternative route that fits — there is no nomad-specific application track. Check the Fiji country guide for the documented options and apply well before you fly.
3Don't rely on the tourist-visa grey area
Working remotely on a standard visitor entry is a grey area in Fiji and can lead to refused entry. A proper long-stay status is worth the paperwork.
4Sort tax before you fly
Tax residency usually follows 183+ days of presence, and your home country may still want a return. Confirm your position with a qualified advisor.
Tax notes
Without a dedicated nomad visa there is no special nomad tax regime in Fiji either — your tax position follows the standard residency rules (usually 183+ days of presence) plus whatever your home country claims. Take qualified tax advice before a long stay.
Tax rules are simplified here and change often. Confirm your position with a qualified tax advisor before making decisions.
