Question 1

Do I need to provide passport valid beyond your application date?

Accepted Answer

Your passport must not be due to expire within 3 months of the date you apply. If you're issued a new passport after your visa is granted, you must notify the Immigration Office in Nauru.

Question 2

Do I need to provide passport-sized photograph?

Accepted Answer

One recent passport-sized photograph of yourself (45mm x 35mm), with your name printed on the back.

Question 3

Do I need to provide visitor's visa application (form 7)?

Accepted Answer

Every nationality needs a Visitor's Visa to enter Nauru as a tourist, apply on Form 7 before you travel, unless your nationality is visa-exempt (see the exemption note) or falls under one of two channel exceptions the Regulations name: Schedule 3 (17 countries, including Fiji, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu and Israel) can apply on arrival instead of in advance, and Schedule 4 (66 countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan and most EU/EEA states) get a simplified application but still apply beforehand. Check the current Schedule 3 and Schedule 4 lists directly, since which one applies changes what you need to do. A visitor's visa is for a single entry and a maximum stay of 3 months, and may only be granted to someone with no grounds to believe they'll breach a visa condition.

Question 4

Do I need to provide evidence of means of support?

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

$50 for a stay of up to 1 month, $150 for up to 2 months, or $250 for up to 3 months, non-refundable, and due with your application unless your nationality is one the Regulations exempt from the fee.
