Programme overview
About the Nauru Passport
Nauru is a small island republic in the central Pacific, and the world's smallest republic by area, at around 21 square kilometres. It gained independence in 1968, its seat of government is in Yaren, and its official languages are Nauruan and English.
The Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Programme (ECRCP) grants citizenship to qualifying applicants who make an approved contribution that supports the country's climate resilience and economic development. It is a newer programme, so informed guidance matters.
Passport and PR, operated by Business Migration Worldwide, acts as an authorised representative. We start with a pre-check to judge how likely your application is to succeed, then prepare, submit and follow it through to approval.

Everything about the Nauru Passport
About Nauru
Nauru sits just south of the equator in Micronesia, a single coral island ringed by a narrow fertile coastal belt. Its economy was long shaped by phosphate mining, and today the country is working to diversify and to adapt to a changing climate.
A member of the United Nations, the Commonwealth and the Pacific Islands Forum, Nauru uses the Australian dollar and conducts government business in English.
What is the Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Programme?
The ECRCP is Nauru's citizenship-by-investment programme. Contributions support climate restoration and resilience projects and wider economic development, and in return approved applicants receive Nauruan citizenship and a passport.
The programme has appointed designated agents to promote and assist with applications. Applying through an authorised representative means your file follows the official process and current requirements.
Your rights as a Nauruan citizen
As a citizen you can live, work and study in Nauru, take on public service roles and represent the country diplomatically. Parliamentary roles are not available to citizens by investment.
Nauru recognises dual citizenship, so you can generally keep your current nationality, and there is no requirement to live in Nauru as a condition of applying.
Costs and family tiers
Contribution tiers start at US$105,000 for a single applicant, US$110,000 for a family of up to three, and US$115,000 for a family of four or more. Each sibling of the applicant or their spouse adds US$15,000.
Your written proposal itemises every cost. Contact us for a family package at the lowest market rate.
Pre-check before you apply
Before you spend anything, we offer a pre-check to assess how likely your application is to succeed. We review your background, source of funds and family so you proceed only when the odds are good.
This protects you from unnecessary cost and is especially valuable on a newer programme where precedents are still developing.
Timeline
Processing is typically three to four months from a complete application, and the programme aims to shorten this over time. Your own document preparation is the factor you control most.
