Nauru real estate and citizenship by investment
Buying property in Nauru does not lead to citizenship. The only route is a contribution to the Treasury Fund of the country, filed through an authorised agent.
Answer and evidence
Can buying property in Nauru get me citizenship?
No. Nauru citizenship by investment has no real-estate option. The official programme offers one pathway, a contribution to the Treasury Fund, at USD 90,000 for a principal applicant until 31 December 2026 under a limited-time price. Government fees are payable on top, and decisions typically take 3 to 4 months when documents are in order.

The Nauru citizenship route
What qualifies for Nauru citizenship by investment?
Nauru citizenship by investment qualifies you through a single government contribution, and the price in the table is a limited-time one until 31 December 2026, after which the standard contribution resumes. Application, due-diligence, bank and passport fees are payable on top, and dependants add further amounts, so the contribution alone is not your full budget.

From application to passport
How does the Nauru citizenship by investment process work?
Nauru citizenship by investment moves from an authorised agent to a due-diligence review and then a government decision. Every principal applicant attends an interview with an approved due-diligence firm, virtually or in person. The contribution is paid after approval, and the citizenship certificate and passport follow once the government has issued them.

- Agent and documents

- Fees and due diligence
Application and due-diligence fees are paid with the file. The checks include an interview for every principal applicant.
- Government decision

Citizenship without a move
Do you need to live in Nauru after becoming a citizen?
Nauru citizenship by investment carries no residence requirement, so you do not need a home in Nauru. The official programme sets no minimum stay or visit requirement and allows dual citizenship. Travel may arise only for the oath of allegiance, which can also be taken by audio-visual link or before a notary.
No property needed
Nothing in the official programme asks you to buy, rent or hold property in Nauru. A home would be a private matter, separate from the citizenship file.
Dual citizenship
You can keep your current nationality, because the official programme allows dual citizenship without restriction.
What the contribution funds
The contribution enables government development projects, potentially including climate resilience, infrastructure, renewable energy and economic diversification.
