Is this for a founder, startup entrepreneur, self-employed person, freelancer, company owner or another business profile?

A Business Visa (sub-class General) authorises the holder to conduct a business or profession in Nauru.

See recorded sources

What must actually exist or be demonstrated: business plan, company, innovation, clients, contracts, economic activity, job creation or other substance?

The official Immigration Regulations describe this subclass as being for conducting a business or profession in Nauru; they do not specify a business plan, company, innovation, client, contract, job-creation or other separate business-substance requirement.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The captured Regulations do not specify further business-substance evidence beyond the stated business or profession activity.

What investment, capital, income, revenue, funding or viability evidence is central to this pathway?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the investment, capital, income or funding evidence required.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched reg 6 and Schedule 2 for an investment, capital, income, revenue or viability requirement; none stated. The only amount is a visa fee in Schedule 2 Table 1, which is not an investment requirement.

What business/self-employed activity may the holder conduct? Are there important restrictions? What is the family position where clearly stated?

The holder may conduct a business or profession in Nauru but may not engage in any religious vocation except with the written approval of the Minister, must not remove Nauruan cultural artefacts, and must not behave in a manner prejudicial to the peace, good order, or morale of Nauru. The visa gives family members no automatic right to join; a dependant (spouse other than one formally separated, a child under 18, or someone wholly dependent on the holder) may separately apply for a Dependant's visa, which if granted lasts for the remaining period of the business visa holder's visa.

What approval/application sequence applies, how long is the status granted, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction is officially stated?

A Business Visa (General) may be granted for a period not exceeding 12 months. The official Regulations do not state the approval sequence, a specific renewal mechanism or a longer-term residence or citizenship route for this visa.
