Why investors choose it

5 benefits of Nauru citizenship

1

Second-cheapest on Earth

From $105,000 — with the government periodically running limited-time reduced offers (recently ~$90–95,000) to seed the young programme.

2

A mission you can point to

Contributions fund climate adaptation and the Higher Ground Initiative — relocating a nation above the rising sea. A passport with a story regulators respect.

3

Political neutrality

A tiny, non-aligned Pacific state: a travel document that carries no geopolitical baggage — valuable when your first passport does.

4

Fast and vetted

Processing in 3–4 months with a mandatory interview and layered Due Diligence — the programme is small by design, not by accident.

5

Useful mobility

Visa-free or on-arrival access to 80+ destinations including Hong Kong, Singapore and the UAE — with the honest footnote that UK visa-free access was withdrawn in late 2025.

Procedure

Five steps to the passport

Small programme, serious process: interview and oath included, all handled remotely.

1

Preliminary check 1 day

Our compliance side screens you confidentially — Nauru’s vetting is deliberately strict; the programme guards a small nation’s only passport.

3

Due Diligence & interview 2–3 months

Layered background checks plus a mandatory interview, conducted remotely.

4

Contribution & oath 1–2 weeks

After approval, the Treasury Fund contribution is made and the Oath of Allegiance taken.

5

Certificate & passport 1–2 weeks

The certificate of citizenship is issued and the passport couriered worldwide.

FAQ

About Nauru citizenship

Why would I pick Nauru over São Tomé or Vanuatu? +

Positioning. São Tomé is cheaper, Vanuatu faster by a hair — Nauru sells neutrality and narrative: a non-aligned state, a climate mission (the Higher Ground Initiative), and a deliberately small intake with strict vetting. For some clients that reputational texture is the product.

What about UK access? +

Straight answer: the UK withdrew visa-free access in December 2025, citing programme concerns Nauru disputes; diplomatic efforts to restore it continue. Today the map is 80+ destinations including Hong Kong, Singapore and the UAE — no EU, no UK. We sell it as a neutral Plan B, not a travel powerhouse.

Are the discounted offers legitimate? +

Yes — unlike the illegal underpricing that plagues some markets, Nauru’s reductions (recently ~$90,000 until mid-2026) are official, published, government-set offers. Same vetting, same passport, lower entry — timing matters.

Is dual citizenship allowed? +

Yes — Nauru permits dual citizenship, and the entire process including interview and oath runs remotely.
