Nauru — FAQ
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 Countries have withdrawn visa-free access from young schemes before, as happened to Vanuatu, so treat the current benefits as potentially subject to change.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.
