Nauru business visa

The Immigration Division's fee table lists business visas for: conducting a business or profession (general), acting as a diplomatic or consular representative of a foreign country, education, film, journalism or other media activities, religious vocation, research and employment in Nauru. The form asks you to state the activity you propose and to choose between a multiple-entry visa of up to 12 months and a single-entry visa of up to 3 months.

All applicants supply certified copies of the passport identity pages and one 45 by 35 mm photo. For a multiple-entry visa, add a police certificate for the places you lived in during the previous 12 months and a medical fitness certificate based on a chest X-ray and blood tests. If your activity is listed in Schedule 1 of the Business Licences Regulations 2018, you also need a business licence under the Business Licences Act 2017.

Published fees include 6,000 dollars for a multiple-entry general business visa, 8,000 dollars for a single-entry media visa, and 200 dollars (multiple entry) or 100 dollars (single entry) for research. A processing fee of 50 dollars applies to single and multiple-entry business visas. Business visitors of the Republic of Nauru, RONPHOS or other statutory corporations, and employees of these bodies, are marked as not paying on the form. The fee is non-refundable and is paid in cash at the Nauru Revenue Office or by bank transfer.

Complete Form 1 in English, attach the documents and fee receipt and lodge it with the Immigration Office through a representative in person or online. Applications that do not meet these requirements are invalid. A passport that expires within 3 months of the application date is not accepted.

A business visa lasts at most 12 months but may be renewed. While holding it you must notify the Director of Immigration at once of relevant changes, such as ending your business, the birth or adoption of a child, the death of a dependant, marriage, divorce or formal separation; failing to do so is an offence.

The business form covers only the applicant. A spouse not formally separated, a child under 18 or a person wholly dependent on you who will not work applies for a dependant visa, which costs 1,000 dollars; a dependant who will work or run a business files a separate business visa application.
