In a major move to mark its first anniversary, Nauru has overhauled its Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program. The updates include a significant reduction in total costs, a limited-time discount, and more inclusive family eligibility rules.
The Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program (NECRCP) has officially restructured its pricing model. Effective immediately, the program has reduced application and due diligence fees by double digits, making it one of the most competitively priced options in the market.
New Pricing and Limited Time Offer (LTO)
To celebrate the program’s first year, Nauru is offering an additional US$25,000 discount on the contribution amount for all applications received before June 30, 2026.
Under this promotion, the base donation is reduced to US$90,000. When combined with the new lower fee structure, the total savings are substantial:
- Single Applicants: Total cost drops to US$101,000 (a 29% reduction).
- Families of Four: Total cost drops to US$122,000 (a 30% reduction).
Even after the LTO expires, the new permanent pricing remains lower than the original launch costs, with a single applicant paying approximately US$126,000.
Expanding Eligibility for Families
Beyond cost reductions, Nauru has removed several restrictive barriers to make the program more family-friendly:
- No Age Limits: Age restrictions for children and parents have been eliminated.
- Financial Dependency: Requirements to prove financial dependency for family members have been removed.
- Married Dependents: The program now accepts married children and siblings as part of the application.
A "Neutral Alternative" in a Volatile World
CEO Edward Clark framed these changes as a response to growing global instability. He described the Nauru passport as a “politically neutral alternative” for individuals seeking enhanced global mobility and security.
While Nauru recently lost visa-free access to the UK in late 2025, the government continues diplomatic efforts to restore the privilege and emphasizes that its four-tier vetting process remains among the strictest in the industry to safeguard the program’s reputation.
Modernizing the Application Process
In a move toward efficiency, Nauru law now supports electronic filing. The program office has announced that it will soon transition to accepting electronic signatures, eliminating the previous requirement for “wet-ink” signatures and physical paperwork hurdles.
