The 400-odd Koreans who have entered the country since 2014 under the Grace Road Church came in via “special licences” as individual investors.
Home Affairs and Immigration Minister Pio Tikoduadua said there were concerns about the nature of their existence and how they conducted their business.
As a result, a task force has been engaged to closely scrutinise their operations.
However, Mr Tikoduadua said the investigations would also take into account the length of time the company had been in Fiji and the substantial investment it had made.
The Grace Road Food Company started with a capital investment of $US150,000 ($F320,300) and says that since then it has invested $US10m ($F21.3m) in Fiji.
The company has not responded to queries from The Fiji Times that it obtained more than $8m in loans from the Fiji Development Bank.
One of the major concerns raised initially was that the company had ventured into sectors such as cafes and bakeries which were reserved for Fijians under the Foreign Investment Act and Regulations.
Recently, some Grace Road outlets have started selling liquor and second-hand clothes as well.
Questions sent to Grace Road Fiji director Daniel Kim remain unanswered.
