Nauru launched its Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program on January 1, 2025, making it the latest addition to the global CBI market. Known as the Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program, it offers one of the most affordable options for obtaining second citizenship, with investments starting at just $105,000 for a single applicant and $110,000 for a family of four. With a streamlined process taking just four months, Nauru’s program stands out for its speed and accessibility.
Nauru previously operated an economic citizenship program until 2002, during which nearly one thousand passports were issued. After a 23-year hiatus, the newly launched Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program represents a modernized and refined approach, incorporating enhanced checks and balances to align with today’s international standards. Nauru’s new Citizenship by Investment Program is designed to attract international investors seeking a quick and cost-effective second citizenship option.
Applicants must submit their Nauru CBI application through an authorised agent, such as La Vida, who are government approved and operating under License Number NR20250221-01.

The program’s launch is part of a broader effort by Nauru to bolster its economy through foreign investment while addressing climate resilience challenges.
Located in the South Pacific, Nauru offers investors an opportunity to secure citizenship in a remote island nation with a distinct history. This initiative provides an entry point for those who prioritize affordability, efficiency, and a streamlined application process. As a newly introduced program, Nauru currently has zero backlog, ensuring swift processing during its initial phase. Applicants can secure citizenship in as little as four months, making it a practical choice for those prioritizing speed and simplicity over extensive travel benefits.
Nauru’s Citizenship by Investment programme requires a government donation of $105,000 for a single applicant and $110,000 for a family of four. Additional government, application and processing fees also apply.
Processing is fast with citizenship usually granted within 3-4 months following the submission of applications. La Vida’s experts can assist you with the entire application process from A to Z. There is no language requirement and due diligence is conducted on all applicants who must have a clear criminal record. The oath of citizenship can be taken remotely via video link. There are no restrictions on dual citizenship and there is no requirement to visit or reside to obtain or retain a passport.

Our experienced consultants will provide you with a personalised quotation which will cover all applicable fees. They will advise and guide you through the entire process in detail.
For your peace of mind, before you commit, La Vida will run a pre-application background check to ensure your application is likely to be successful. Once this has been completed and you are happy to proceed, you can formally initiate the process by signing our Client Facilitator agreement and paying the pre-application deposit.
La Vida’s in-house processing team will work closely with you to prepare your application. Once your file has been fully compiled our team will submit your application to Nauru’s Citizenship by Investment Unit. Government fees will be required at this stage. From this point applications take an average of 90 days to be processed, but may vary depending on the complexity of your application and the demand.
Following the Nauru Citizenship Unit’s comprehensive due diligence checks and analysis of your application, an approval letter from the government will be issued and you will then be required to make the final payment and take the Oath Swearing Ceremony. The passport will be issued within approximately one month and sent to you by secure and recorded delivery.
Once Nauru Citizenship has been granted, investors will be issued with a Nauru passport. Nauru passport holders benefit from visa-free access to 102 countries and territories worldwide according to La Vida’s Unique Passport Investment Report. This represents over a third of the world’s GDP.
The Nauru passport offers visa-free access to 102 destinations, providing practical global mobility. Key destinations include the UK, UAE, Singapore, Ireland, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Qatar. While it does not grant access to the European Schengen zone, obtaining a Schengen visa with a Nauru passport may be simpler than for many other nationalities. Nauru ranks at number 111 in La Vida’s comprehensive Global Passport Ranking. Its visa-free access accounts for 19.4% of global wealth (GDP) and 28.1% of travel popularity. Whilst the visa-free access may not be quite as competitive when compared to passports from Caribbean CBI programs, such as the Grenada citizenship program, the Nauru passport stands out for its affordability and efficiency, with a streamlined application process that appeals to cost-conscious investors.
The Nauru Citizenship by Investment Program offers a secure and direct route to obtaining a Nauru passport by investment. This program allows qualified investors to acquire Nauru residency and ultimately Nauru citizenship through an approved economic contribution. Holders of a Nauru passport gain visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to approximately 102 destination, including the UK, Ireland, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
To qualify for a Nauru passport, applicants must meet the investment requirements and submit their applications through licensed agents recognized by the official Nauru Citizenship by Investment Program, such as La Vida. Direct applications to the Program Office are not permitted
The Nauru citizenship by investment cost varies depending on the number of applicants included in the application. The required investment starts at $105,000 for a single applicant and $110,000 for a family of four. Government, due diligence checks, and application and processing fees also need to budgeted for.
