Chinese nationals can in principle apply to the Nauru citizenship by investment programme, but China does not allow dual citizenship, so this route carries a serious caution that should be settled before anything else.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
The programme is a contribution based citizenship route run by the Nauru Program Office. We did not find China on Nauru's published list of restricted countries.
The central issue is on the Chinese side. China does not recognise dual citizenship, so a Chinese national who acquires Nauru citizenship may lose Chinese nationality. Treat this as the first question to settle, and take independent advice before acting.
The route is a financial contribution toward the programme, plus application and due diligence fees. There is no residence requirement of the kind seen in residency routes.
Applicants pass background checks before any approval. Confirm the current process and document list with the Nauru Program Office.
Contribution based citizenship routes are usually quicker than residence routes, but timelines change. Confirm the current processing time with the official authority.
The figures below are indicative and drawn from public reporting, and a reduced contribution is reported only until 30 June 2026. Confirm the current amounts with the official authority before acting.
