Political neutrality
Nauru maintains a neutral position in international conflicts. This can support greater travel security and stability for its citizens in an increasingly uncertain global environment.

A Nauru passport provides visa-free access to major international business hubs, including the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the UAE, expanding opportunities for global business and travel.
Fast processing
Nauru citizenship can be obtained in as little as 3 months through a fully remote procedure, which is faster than many comparable programs.
Citizenship for the whole family
A single application may include the investor, spouse, children, and other eligible close relatives, allowing the family to obtain the same citizenship status.
Retention of existing citizenship
Nauru permits multiple citizenship, so investors are not required to give up the rights and benefits associated with their current nationality.
Environmental contribution
Contributions to the designated fund support climate resilience initiatives and help protect biodiversity in the Pacific region.
Citizenship for future generations
Nauru citizenship can be passed on to descendants, helping protect long-term family interests and creating additional opportunities for future generations.

Citizenship application process
Citizenship application process
Consultation with a licensed agent
Mirsatori experts conduct a comprehensive assessment of the applicant’s profile, including the source of funds and migration objectives. As Nauru permits multiple citizenship, the specialists also evaluate whether the prospective status is compatible with the applicant’s current nationality.
Learn moreDocument preparation
The Mirsatori team prepares the complete set of required documents. The applicant must provide police clearance certificates from every country where they have lived during the past 10 years. Mirsatori lawyers handle the correct preparation, legalisation, apostille certification, and translation of all documents.
Learn moreApplication submission
A licensed agent formally submits the documents to the Nauru Program Office, while the investor pays the applicable statutory fees. The Mirsatori team ensures that all forms are completed accurately and that every procedural requirement is met.
Learn moreComprehensive due diligence
At this stage, the main applicant and every family member over the age of 16 undergo due diligence. The review is conducted by the relevant authorities, including the Nauru Program Office and the Nauru Police Force. The Mirsatori team coordinates communication with the authorities and promptly provides any additional information requested.
Learn moreInterview
The applicant attends an interview as part of the due diligence process. Its purpose is to verify the accuracy of the submitted information and understand the applicant’s reasons for joining the program. To ensure the client is fully prepared, Mirsatori lawyers conduct a mock interview and review the main questions in advance.
Learn moreCabinet decision
Once the due diligence process is complete, the Nauru Program Office assesses the risks and recommends that the Minister approve or reject the application.

Following approval, the main applicant receives a letter through the authorised agent outlining the procedure for making the investment and paying the passport fee. The Mirsatori team supervises the banking transactions and ensures that the funds are transferred to the Nauru Treasury Fund.
