Summary
Nauru is the world’s least visited country with a population of 11,200 and a 21 km square area. Everyone needs a visa to enter Nauru, and the application process varies depending on the traveler’s nationality and purpose of entry. Nationals of some countries can get a free visa-on-arrival, while others need to apply for a visa from their country of residence with simplified or standard procedures. The required documents include a completed application form, a valid passport, a recent passport photo, a hotel reservation or sponsorship, copies of flight bookings, a criminal record certificate, a certificate of medical fitness, a certificate of employment, and an invitation letter for Australian and New Zealand passports. Business visitors must have a local sponsor. Applicants should email the Nauru Immigration with necessary details and scanned documents, and the processing time is about a month, but can be expedited with a contact on Nauru. A visa costs $50 AUD for every applicant, except for journalists reporting on the detention center who pay $8000 AUD for a three-month visa. Nauru is a relatively safe country with no recent history of terrorism and almost no crime, but travelers should avoid wild dogs and drink boiled water. Nauru has limited diplomatic representations, including an embassy in Taipei, a consulate general in Thailand, a consulate general in Brisbane, and a high commission in Suva. Tourist activities include a cruise ride, visiting Yaren, Buada Lagoon, Anibare Bay, and Command Ridge.
