Nauru Citizenship by Investment Program

Receives first batch of application cases

Nauru, the world's smallest independent republic, was once among the richest countries in the world for its rich phosphate resources. However, due to overexploitation of the resource and concerns about a possible crisis caused by global climate change.

Nauru is now hoping to attract foreign direct investment by launching an investment citizenship program, which will in turn promote the country's sustainable development and economic diversification.

▶ The application requirements are as follows:

Individual applicants over 18 years of age can obtain a Nauru Citizenship Certificate and passport by simply obtaining approval and making a donation of $105,000 USD.

For families of 2 to 4 persons, the total contribution is US$110,000 and US$115,000 for families of 5 or more persons.

Recently, Edward Clark, chief executive officer of the Nauru Citizenship by Investment Program, revealed that the program has received its first batch of applications and is set to approve 500 applicants and raise US$43 million in its first year of operation.

In order to increase the efficiency of case processing, Nauru Immigration has worked on process optimization, efficiency improvements and staff training to ensure a smooth response to applications.
