Program at a Glance
Key facts for the Nauru program
Nauru's citizenship programme is among the lowest-cost routes currently available, with contributions funding the island's climate-adaptation and relocation programme. It is new and still settling, so we treat it as a purposeful, contingency-oriented option and verify current terms before any client commits.
- Processing time
- ~3–4 months
- Visa-free travel
- ~89 destinations (excludes EU/Schengen)
- Minimum investment
- From USD 90,000 (promo to Jun 2026; USD 115,000 standard)
What to know
Nauru's Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program launched in 2025 and was already restructured in early 2026, so contribution figures vary across official, Henley, and agent sources — we confirm current pricing case by case. As a young program it should be approached as a contingency and mobility option, with independent due diligence on banking acceptance and visa-free arrangements.
Figures are indicative and subject to change by the issuing authority. Speak with an Ancova advisor for current pricing, due-diligence requirements, and route-specific eligibility.
