Nauru Citizenship by Investment Program
Launched in November 2024, the Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program (NECRCP) offers a simple and fast route to citizenship through a contribution to the Nauru Treasury Fund. The net investment for a single applicant is $105,000. Upon obtaining Nauru citizenship, you and your four generations of family (including siblings) enjoy citizenship and visa-free access to 89 countries and regions, including the UK, Ireland, Hong Kong (China), Singapore, UAE, and South Korea. The entire process takes only 3-5 months, with no requirement to enter Nauru during the process and no residency requirements while holding citizenship. The Nauru government's investment immigration program allows investors to obtain citizenship through a contribution to the National Treasury Fund. The program aims to support Nauru's sustainable development and economic diversification while offering investors visa-free travel, low tax environment, and other advantages.
