Nauru

Nauru relaunched a citizenship-by-investment programme in 2024, from a contribution around 115,000 USD that funds the island’s climate resilience, with a fully remote process and an unusually broad family scope. Be clear-eyed about what it buys: a modest passport reaching about 85 destinations visa-free — without the EU, the UK or the US — issued under a brand-new scheme with very little track record.

Tax at a glance

  • The passport does not make you tax-resident in Nauru
  • Nauru taxes only Nauru-source income — irrelevant to a non-resident holder
  • No capital gains tax, no wealth tax and no inheritance tax
  • Tax is not the reason to consider Nauru; mobility and cost are

Frequently asked questions

What does the Nauru passport actually give me?

Visa-free access to around 85 destinations — including places like Hong Kong and Singapore, but not the EU Schengen area, the United Kingdom or the United States. It is a modest travel document, so weigh it against that reality rather than the marketing.

Is the Nauru programme safe to rely on?

It is a government programme under the 2024 Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Act, but it is brand new with little track record. Countries have withdrawn visa-free access from young schemes before, as happened to Vanuatu, so treat the current benefits as potentially subject to change.

Do I have to live in or visit Nauru?

No. There is no residency requirement and no travel to Nauru at any stage — the process is fully remote, and the contribution is non-refundable.

What we do for you

Citizenship or residence, the honest answer often is not the one you arrived with. We take the whole procedure with you — eligibility, the route that fits your situation, the file, the follow-up — with one person on your side throughout.

For Nauru specifically, you are talking to someone who already knows the file: who to speak to on the ground, what the unit actually asks for, and the points where applications stall.

  • One point of contact, from the first call to the certificate
  • Vetted partners on the ground — law firms, licensed agents, banks — introduced, not listed
  • It starts with a short qualifying call, and no, it is not a sales call
