Okay, so, I decided to get myself a Nauru visa. Here’s how it went down, step-by-step.
Figuring Out the Basics
First off, I had to figure out if I even needed a visa. Turns out, it depends on where you’re from. Some folks can just waltz in, others need a visa on arrival, and a whole bunch of us have to get one beforehand. I’m in that last group.
Getting the Application Together
I found out I needed to hit up the official Nauru government website or their immigration office to get the visa application form. That form’s all in English, and you gotta be straight-up honest with your answers. No fudging! They also want a bunch of supporting documents, so I made sure I had everything they asked for. And yeah, there’s an application fee, which I paid up.

The Money Talk
Now, about the cost. Apparently, Nauru’s got this thing called Citizenship by Investment. It’s pretty cheap compared to other places. For a single person like me, it was around $172,305, fees and all. They say it’s the cheapest official program of its kind, which is neat.
Sending It Off
Once I had my form filled out and all my documents together, I sent the whole package to the immigration office. You can do this a couple of ways, but I just followed their instructions.
What I Needed
- Valid Passport: This one’s a no-brainer. You gotta have a passport that’s good to go.
- Completed Application: Like I said, filling this out truthfully is key.
- Return Ticket: They wanna make sure you’re not planning to just stay forever, so a ticket back home is a must.
Waiting Game
After sending everything off, it was just a waiting game. I kept myself busy, but I was checking my email and mailbox like a hawk.
Success!
Finally, I got the good news – my visa application was approved! It was a relief, to say the least. Now I can actually start planning my trip to Nauru.
So, that’s my experience getting a Nauru visa. It wasn’t too complicated, but you definitely need to be on top of things. Do your research, get your documents in order, and be patient. Good luck!
