Overview
Nauru’s Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program (ECRCP) offers a structured and efficient pathway to second citizenship through a minimum financial contribution of $105,000. Designed to support economic growth and climate resilience, the program funds infrastructure development, environmental sustainability, and climate change mitigation efforts.
Gain Nauru citizenship by contributing to the Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program, supporting sustainable development initiatives. A minimum contribution of $105,000 is required for individual applicants, while family packages start at $115,000 for a family of four. With an efficient processing time of 3-4 months, this program offers a streamlined and impactful pathway to second citizenship.
With no real estate investment requirements and a streamlined application process, the ECRCP provides a cost-effective and accessible alternative to traditional Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programs. Nauru’s stable political environment, business-friendly regulations, and focus on sustainability make it an attractive option for investors seeking global mobility, financial security, and participation in climate-resilience initiatives.

Nauru’s Citizenship Program allows dual citizenship, family inclusion, and the flexibility of no residency or visit requirements, ensuring seamless global mobility and security for investors and their families.
Nauru’s Citizenship Program offers a streamlined application process, significant tax advantages, and the opportunity to contribute to vital climate resilience projects, aligning with global sustainability goals.
Real Estate Investment
Nauru’s real estate market operates on a leasehold system, with all land collectively owned by local families. Individuals or companies cannot purchase property outright, and the government retains the right to reclaim land for mining or environmental rehabilitation. The sector remains underdeveloped, with limited infrastructure and little market data, making it unsuitable for traditional real estate investment.
The Nauru Phosphate Royalties Trust (NPRT) was once a key national fund aimed at generating income through real estate and other investments after phosphate resources were depleted. However, the fund collapsed due to mismanagement and corruption, underscoring the risks of overreliance on resource-based wealth.
To promote sustainable development, Nauru launched the Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program (ECRCP). Through a non-refundable contribution of USD 105,000 plus application and due diligence fees, foreign nationals can obtain Nauruan citizenship and a passport offering access to 102 countries. The program funds climate resilience and diversification projects, aligning with the country’s long-term economic goals.
Eligibility Criteria
Nauru’s Citizenship by Investment program allows applicants to include qualifying dependents as part of their application, offering a comprehensive, family-friendly approach. Eligible dependents include the spouse of the main applicant, biological or adopted children under the age of 18, and unmarried children between 18 and 30 years old who are financially dependent on the applicant.
Additionally, financially dependent parents or grandparents aged 55 and above may be included, as well as unmarried siblings of the main applicant. This inclusive policy ensures that families can benefit collectively from the program, providing security and citizenship opportunities for multiple generations.
