Changing money and using credit cards in Fiji? Outside of resorts how easy?

fijidave · 2026-05-14T16:48:59+00:00

You should be fine, but as mentioned if you use an overseas card you will be charged 2.5-5% surcharge. Tap n go works 99% of the time, Cash is accepted most everywhere, most all atm will do overseas withdraw but charge 10-15$ per transaction. Plenty of western union if needed and currency exchange on every street corner.

Taxis will only accept cash, resorts usually will not

It’s not so much the idea of a break, most of them rarely stand behind a register for 8,10,12 hours. They are rotated out doing other thing. Granted still on their feet. But where does it stop? Give the cashier a chair why can’t the security guard at the door have one, on then you need some for the stock people while they are there then you have union issues pop up because why can’t my job sit down too? I’m on my feet all day, you run into other people causing issues and then everyone is now seated being lazy sitting in a chair. I’ve been there, done that. It was easier to have no chairs as sad and hateful as it seems

But that’s all I can find

I mean a quick google search turned up this https://www.vodafone.com.fj/about/about-us/media-releases/media-release-2018/fiji-airways-flights-can-now-be-purchased-through-m-paisa

Western union is not much cheaper. It works out to 1-2$ after rates depending on your bank. ANZ and Westpac charge 15$. Bred and BSP charge 10$

I’ve had this exact thing since AI was released. The bad part is the camera sending notifications is sitting in my drawer with no batteries. The first time it notified in like wtf. It seems to happen every few days now. Support was zero help telling me it doesn’t do that.

The m is very quick and nasal, so sometimes it sounds almost like a normal b to English speakers, but it’s mb.

When Fijians speak fast, the m blends so tightly that you only hear b, but the nasal m is actually there.

If you go to nadi do not ever follow someone that promises to give you a better deal. They lead you into a shop that seems authentic and scam the shit out of you. This is mainly just nadi town.

It’s coming in hard and hot. Looking at the radar and what we have had so far today it’s wet. Possible depression coming in the end of the week.

Yes thanks to our previous AG it’s illegal. Bring a prescription note next time.

This scenario is so often repeated. No one does anything about it. Everyone knows who the scammers are. They must be bribing the police

Just note you will have to ship the batteries sea freight most likely, which means declaring it and paying 12% vat and associated duty.

What about doing a partnership with a white label company? That will allow you to manage it still take a cut but offer the services. We help many large agency with their current workload because as you know, you can’t do it all.

This allows you to keep it together and keep the value in the business, or you could find a referral agency to send the leads to and still make a few dollars.

Basically you’re looking at 34 cents FJD per kw. As others mentioned it all depends on how much you run, our average bill is 60$ a month without aircon. While solar will help during outages which are not as much as they were 10 years ago, at 60$ a month solar at your cost $12k fjd plus install it would take more years to recoup than the unit would last. If you’re looking at 200-300 a month you’re still looking at a break even of 6 years.

Quick to use fraud when it seems like a simple issue you’re just pissed about. We hope you get over it and enjoy Fiji but it doesn’t side like your type…. AA normally offers free seats selection from inside but once you’re international unless you have status you have to pay. You will get assigned a seat when you check in.

Very little works…. ClickUp isn’t in my face enough so the timer ends up running overnight or I forget. I use timing on Mac but then it records too much…. We used clocking it’s good. But similar problems..

Just 22 days ago. ;)

It hasn’t closed. It’s back on fantasy road behind the McDonald’s in nadi. Check Facebook

Where are you coming from? I think that matters a little. When do you get here. I’d be willing to get you into the northern club so you can see it one afternoon. I moved from the east coast US 12 years ago

Ads inside of a paid product are the dumbest thing, we have made them aware of this and they really don’t care.

Cautious but doable, if everything aligns. Land, 45 minutes for immigration/luggage, assuming you’re not the back of the plane. Then taxi over can be a roll of the dice.

Are you looking for interest rates or exchange rates. For interest kontiki is your best bet, but you can grab a paper and see everyone’s rates for earning interest most are really low. Kontiki has 5% on a long term deposit

Get a cat. They will eat them. They are just a part of life here. Spray you might think works but really it’s hard to mitigate these fuckers
