Nauru Extends Its Citizenship Offer Until December 2026
Good news for investors seeking a fast, cost-efficient second citizenship: the Republic of Nauru has extended the limited-time offer on its Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program. The reduced entry point of $90,000 USD will now remain until 31 December 2026. It was originally due to close at the end of June but has been extended to the end of this year giving applicants a further six months to secure citizenship at the programs lowest contribution to date.
What the Extension Means
When Nauru refreshed its program earlier this year, it moved to a flat base contribution of $115,000 for single applicants and families alike, then introduced the promotional $90,000 rate as a short-term incentive to drive early interest. That promotional window has now been pushed back to the end of 2026 – a welcome development for anyone who liked the offer but wasn’t quite ready to act before the original deadline.
Nothing else about the program has changed. The same streamlined framework, flexible family terms, and rigorous due diligence remain in place. The only difference is that the discounted pricing now runs for another half-year.
The Offer at a Glance
Here’s where the numbers stand under the extended window:
- Usual contribution price: $115,000
- Limited-time contribution offer: $90,000 – available until 31 December 2026
- Application and due diligence fees: reduced from earlier levels, with full integrity screening retained
The saving is genuinely material: up to around 22% for single applicants and up to 25% for a family of four, measured against the pre-discount structure. At US $90,000, Nauru now sits level with São Tomé and Príncipe as one of the two most affordable entry points in the global citizenship-by-investment market.
Why Nauru Still Stands Out
Price is only part of the story. Even before the discount, Nauru earned its place as a credible Plan B option, and the qualities that made it attractive haven’t gone anywhere:
- Quick turnaround: Decisions typically land within three to four months, so investors can move on their mobility plans without a long wait.
- Unusually flexible family inclusion: Dependents are no longer limited by age, financial dependency, or marital status. Children, parents, and siblings can all be added on the basis of direct family relationship alone.
- Dual citizenship permitted: Applicants can retain their existing nationality alongside their new Nauruan passport.
- No residency requirement: There’s no obligation to relocate or spend time in the country before or after approval.
- Meaningful global access: The Nauru passport opens visa-free or visa-on-arrival travel to 101 destinations, including Hong Kong, Singapore, the UAE, Qatar, Ireland, and Malaysia.
- A contribution that does more: Funds support climate resilience and sustainable development on an island nation sitting on the front line of environmental change.
Who Should Take a Closer Look
The extended offer is well suited to investors who want an accelerated, lower-cost route to a second citizenship without the friction of residency obligations. It’s a strong fit for anyone building a Plan B, diversifying a citizenship portfolio, or looking to bring an extended family under a single application. And for holders of passports with limited reach, the mobility gain alone can justify the move.

La Vida’s Perspective
At $90,000, Nauru is now the cheapest citizenship-by-investment option on the market, alongside São Tomé. But this offer won’t last forever. The original June deadline caught a lot of applicants mid-decision, this six month extension grants enough time to complete due diligence properly, gather documents, and apply without cutting corners.
Our honest take: Nauru suits a particular kind of buyer. If you already hold a strong passport, the mobility gain is modest, and there are more prestigious programs worth weighing up. But if you want an affordable Plan B, need to bring an extended family under a single application, or hold a passport that limits where you can travel, few programs match Nauru on price and speed right now.
