Land ownership and dealing are regulated in Fiji under the Land Transfer Act.

The legislation establishes a system of indefeasible title using the Torrens Title System, similar to the statutory systems in Australia and New Zealand.

Commercially available land in Fiji is categorised as freehold (privately owned), State Lease (owned by Government and leased to the public) or Native Lease (owned by indigenous Fijian landholding units and leased to the public). Indefeasible title to these interests can be obtained under the Land Transfer Act.

The Land Sales Act regulates non-resident dealings in land. This imposes restrictions on non-residents contracting to deal in land and aggregating land interests without Government consent. It also taxes speculative dealings in undeveloped land.

Government consents are relatively easily obtained where non-residents wish to purchase and use land for bona fide business or personal purposes.
