Figures are published by the relevant ministries or licensed intermediaries and shown in indicative form. Programmes change; terms of engagement are confidential. Nothing on this page is an offer of citizenship or tax advice.

One of the most affordable and fastest CBI programmes: Under the Iruwa Initiative, the minimum contribution is USD 90,000, with typical processing of around 3-4 months.
Tax-efficient for non-resident citizens: Citizenship alone does not create tax residency. Non-residents are generally taxed only on Nauru-source income, with no general capital gains, inheritance or wealth tax.
Fully remote: No visit, prior residence or minimum physical presence is required before or after citizenship.
Exceptional family flexibility: Spouses, de facto partners, children, parents, grandparents and siblings may qualify, offering broader family inclusion than many competing programmes.
Flexible applicant profile: The programme can accommodate more complex documentary circumstances, subject to enhanced due diligence and eligibility checks.
Climate-resilience focus: Contributions support national climate adaptation, renewable energy, infrastructure and sustainable-development initiatives.
Neutral second-citizenship option: Nauru offers a geographically and politically distinct citizenship for investors seeking greater diversification and contingency planning

Limitations / notes

Anyone needing Schengen/UK/USA
reputation-sensitive clients
banking compliance-heavy applications
primary passport use case
Launched 2024 — near zero track record. Nauru has historically relied on foreign aid. Risk: program could be modified or shut down under international pressure (similar to Vanuatu). Due diligence framework still maturing.
