Nauru Citizenship by Investment Program
The Republic of Nauru is located in the South Pacific and is one of the world’s smallest independent nations, as well as a member of the United Nations and the Commonwealth. To promote economic growth and address climate challenges, the Nauru government officially launched the “Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program” in 2024. Through a compliant national fund donation, the program offers applicants and their families a fast-track route to citizenship.
Applicants only need to complete a legal donation to obtain a Nauru passport within 3 to 4 months. The Nauru passport allows visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to nearly 90 countries and regions, including the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates. Known for its low investment threshold, fast approval, favorable tax policies, and dual citizenship recognition, the Nauru program has become a key option for high-net-worth individuals seeking identity planning, educational opportunities, and global asset allocation.
Program Advantages
Security of Funds and Approval Assurance
The program adopts a “pre-approval before donation” model. The principal applicant donates only after receiving a letter of approval-in-principle, within 30 days, ensuring maximum safety of investment funds.
Global Mobility
A Nauru passport (Commonwealth passport) grants visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 89 countries and regions worldwide. Destinations include the UK (180 days), Hong Kong, Singapore, UAE, and Ireland, significantly reducing visa application costs and time.
Tax Planning Benefits
Nauru offers highly attractive tax policies, featuring low rates and limited categories, including zero personal income tax, no worldwide taxation, zero capital gains tax, and no inheritance tax.
Simplified Application Process
The entire process is conducted online with no need to visit Nauru. Interviews and oaths can be completed via video conference. Passports and renewals require no residency or physical presence.
Cost-Effective Program
This is one of the world’s most affordable citizenship-by-investment programs. The minimum donation for a single applicant is USD 105,000, while a family of 2–4 members requires USD 110,000.
