Nauru Launches Citizenship by Investment Program

Published Date: 13.11.2024

In a bold move toward sustainable development, Nauru has introduced its new Citizenship by Investment Program—the Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program (NECRCP). Officially announced at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 29) in Baku, this program is crafted to balance economic growth with environmental stewardship, enabling high-caliber global citizens to contribute to Nauru’s future.

Why Choose Nauru’s Citizenship by Investment Program?

The NECRCP offers a unique opportunity for individuals and families to secure Nauruan citizenship through direct contributions to the nation’s Treasury Fund. This program not only facilitates visa-free travel to over 89 destinations, including the United Kingdom and the UAE, but also serves as a gateway to supporting climate-resilient projects in Nauru.

Isa Seow, Director of Compliance for NECRCP, states that this initiative “combines economic growth with environmental stewardship,” setting it apart from other programs in the investment migration sector. The program underlines Nauru’s commitment to sustainable investment, aligning with the global push toward environmental responsibility.

Investment and Fees

The NECRCP has outlined the following financial requirements:

Contribution:
1. $105,000 USD for a single applicant
2. $110,000 USD for a family of two–four members
3. $115,000 USD for a family of five or more members
4. Additional $15,000 USD for each sibling of the main applicant or their spouse

Application Fee:
1. $25,000 USD for a single applicant
2. $27,500 USD for a family of two–four members

Due Diligence Fee:
1. $10,000 USD for the main applicant
2. $7,5000 USD per additional family member aged 16 or older (spouse, sibling, child, or qualifying adult dependent)

Additionally, a Passport Fee of $500 USD per applicant is payable to the Nauru Government.
With a total investment reaching $140,500 USD for single applicants and $155,000 USD for a family of four, this program remains competitive while offering substantial benefits.

Eligible Dependents

The NECRCP offers flexibility for families, allowing applicants to include various dependents, including:

1. The spouse of the Principal Applicant in a monogamous marriage or de-facto relationship
2. Children under 18 years, or between 18-30 years if fully supported and unmarried
3. Physically or mentally challenged children of any age who are fully supported
4. Parents or grandparents over 55 who are fully supported
5. Unmarried siblings of the Principal Applicant or spouse who have never been married

This inclusivity ensures families can secure a better future together, with Nauruan citizenship providing security and new opportunities.

Key Requirements for Applicants

The NECRCP has set clear eligibility standards to maintain the program’s high caliber:

1. Minimum age of 18 years
2. Clean personal background
3. Proof of funds source
4. Mandatory interview
5. Oath of Allegiance to Nauru

These requirements are in place to ensure only reputable individuals contribute to Nauru’s growth and resilience.

Application Process and Governance

The NECRCP emphasizes a transparent and regulated process. Licensed agents must complete prescribed forms, submit documentation, and pay licensing fees. All applications go through the Program Office, which upholds strict professional standards, with licenses subject to revocation for unethical conduct.

The program also incorporates robust governance, allowing Nauru to maintain control over citizenship rights. According to the NECRCP Act, citizenship may be revoked if it is obtained through fraudulent means or if the citizen is involved in terrorism, money laundering, or other activities subject to UN sanctions.
