What investment option or options qualify?

The qualifying investment is a required contribution: the official FAQ describes the process as involving an investment contribution, and eligible applicants must be able to make the required contribution. The programme was established through the Naoero Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Act 2024 and is implemented by the Naoero Program Office.

    Established through the Naoero Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Act 2024, the Naoero Program Office works in close collaboration with the Cabinet and Ministries to implement this bold initiative.

What official minimum amount, tier or threshold applies to each relevant option?

USD 90,000 contribution for a Principal Applicant (limited-time tier available until 31 December 2026, reflecting a USD 25,000 discount applicable from 3 February 2026), plus USD 2,000 for each additional dependant aged 16 or above and USD 15,000 for each sibling of the Principal Applicant or spouse. Government fees are separate: a USD 5,000 application fee for the Principal Applicant (USD 2,000 per dependant), a USD 6,000 due-diligence fee for the Principal Applicant (USD 3,000 per dependant aged 16+ or per benefactor), a bank due-diligence/transaction charge of USD 1,200-2,200 depending on dependant count, and USD 500 per passport.

How long must the investment be maintained and what continuing ownership, investment or physical-presence conditions are important?

The official FAQ states that there is no residency requirement, and the application process may be completed without travelling to Naoero. The official How to Apply page also allows the oath or affirmation to be taken by audio-visual link or before a notary in another jurisdiction. The official pages do not state a minimum holding period or continuing-investment or ownership condition.

Limits of the record
  • No clause on the captured official pages explicitly states the absence of a holding or maintenance period or continuing ownership condition; this remains an evidence gap.

Which family members can be included where officially stated, and what broad residence/work rights result?

Family members that can be included are the applicant's spouse, dependent children, parents and siblings, for additional fees. The official contribution page specifies USD 15,000 per sibling; for an eligible dependant aged 16 or above it lists a USD 2,000 contribution, USD 2,000 application fee and USD 3,000 due-diligence fee. The official pages do not separately state a different residence or work-rights package for included family members.

Limits of the record
  • Precise dependant eligibility criteria are not stated on the official pages and are deferred to the applicant's Agent. The captured pages also do not separately state a different residence or work-rights package for included family members.

What status is obtained, how is it renewed, what longer-term residence/citizenship direction is officially stated, and what happens to the investment when relevant?

Successful principal applicants obtain Naoero citizenship, not a renewable residence permit. The resulting Naoero passport is valid for 10 years and can be renewed through the Naoero Program Office or Nauruan embassies or consulates. Dual citizenship is expressly permitted, and processing typically takes three to four months from submission to citizenship approval. The official pages do not state whether the contribution is refunded or forfeited.

Limits of the record
  • No clause on the captured official pages addresses grounds for citizenship revocation or forfeiture or refund of the contribution; this remains an information gap.
