The Nauru Citizenship by Investment Program has welcomed an important update.
Recently, the Government of the Republic of Nauru announced that it has officially changed the country's country name from “Nauru” to “Naoero”, while the Chinese name “瑙鲁” remains unchanged. Consequently, the original Citizenship by Investment Program “Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program” has also been renamed to “Naoero Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program”, and remains referred to in Chinese as the “Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program”.
What Does the Change of Country Name Mean for Applicants?
For families who have already obtained citizenship, are currently processing, or are preparing to apply, the most pressing question is undoubtedly: Will the name change affect passport validity and application progress? The answer is: No.
First, Citizenship Certificates will use the new official country name.
Effective immediately, Citizenship Certificates issued through the Citizenship by Investment Program will use the new official country name “Republic of Naoero”.
Second, passports issued currently and during the transition period remain valid.
Before the new version of passports bearing the new country name is officially launched, passports will continue to be issued under the name “Nauru”. Passports already issued as well as those newly issued during the transition period will remain fully valid, will not expire due to the country name change, and will not affect the citizenship rights and interests of the holders.
This adjustment is purely an administrative transition, which does not affect passport validity nor the citizenship rights and interests of applicants.
Third, relevant program documents will be updated successively.
In the coming period, relevant laws and regulations, application forms, guidance documents, official websites, and other program materials will be updated successively. During the transition phase, applicants may see both names, “Nauru” and “Naoero”, on different documents and platforms simultaneously. This is normal and will not affect program applications, approvals, or passport usage.
In other words, while the country name has changed, the program continues to operate normally, and existing applications and passport validity remain unaffected.
Starting from USD 90,000, Limited-Time Offer Remains Available
Compared to the country name adjustment, what is even more noteworthy for families intending to acquire a second status is that Nauru Citizenship by Investment is currently still in a limited-time offer window.
According to the Nauru government's limited-time incentive policy, for all applications submitted before December 31, 2026, the donation amount for the main applicant starts at only USD 90,000. Once the promotional period ends, the program will return to its standard pricing structure.
In the current citizenship by investment market, the application threshold of USD 90,000 further enhances the cost attractiveness of the Nauru program.
For families seeking to manage their status acquisition budget while obtaining a second citizenship within a relatively short period, Nauru provides a status pathway with friendly thresholds and flexible processing options.
Eligible for the Entire Family, Efficient Approval, and Convenient Travel
The Nauru Citizenship by Investment Program can cover the main applicant, spouse, children, parents, grandparents, as well as siblings of both the main applicant and spouse, meeting the needs of multi-generational families to acquire status together.
The program adopts an “approval first, donation later” model, with the Nauru government officially committing to approving immigration applications within 3 to 4 months. Steps such as interviews and oaths can be completed remotely according to regulations, with no long-term residence requirement, making processing even more flexible.
After obtaining a Nauru passport, one can enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to nearly 90 countries and regions, including popular destinations such as Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR, Taiwan, China, and Singapore. As a member of the Pacific Islands Forum, Nauru citizens also enjoy certain conveniences when applying for relevant Australian work visas and New Zealand long-term visitor visas, adding more options for families planning travel, work, and life in Australia and New Zealand.
Officially Authorized Global Agent, Advancing Applications Across the Entire Process
As an active promoter of Commonwealth Citizenship by Investment Programs, WorldWay has deep roots in the Nauru Citizenship by Investment Program. As early as 2000, WorldWay launched the promotion of Commonwealth Citizenship by Investment Programs, and became a global Tier-1 agent for the Commonwealth nation Republic of Nauru Citizenship by Investment Program in the early 2000s. Numerous Chinese applicants (including those from Mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR, and Taiwan, China) successfully obtained Nauru passports through WorldWay.
Following the relaunch of the Nauru Citizenship by Investment Program, WorldWay Group received official certification from the Nauru government for two consecutive years in 2025 and 2026, becoming a global licensed agent for the Nauru Citizenship by Investment Program.
What is even more worth mentioning is that Mr. Edward Clark, CEO of the Nauru Citizenship by Investment Office, made a special visit to WorldWay Group for in-depth talks with WorldWay's senior management. He highly praised WorldWay's promotional achievements and professional services, and respectfully honored Dr. Winner Xing, Chairman of WorldWay Group, as a “godfather-level figure” in the Nauru Citizenship by Investment Program. This recognition is both a reward for WorldWay's dedicated efforts of over two decades and proof of its brand strength.
The current limited-time Nauru immigration offer will continue until December 31, 2026. For families seeking to complete second status acquisition for their entire family with a lower threshold and shorter cycle, now is an important window to learn more and launch their application.
