Indian nationals can seek Nauruan citizenship through a contribution to a government fund under a programme launched in 2024. This page sets out the position and the official source, and flags a reported time limited rate.
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.
Nauru began granting citizenship by investment in November 2024 under its Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program. The main applicant must be an adult, pass due diligence and make a qualifying contribution. Nauru recognises dual nationality.
Programmes of this kind apply a restricted list of nationalities that cannot take part. India is not generally cited among excluded nationalities, but applicants should confirm whether any exclusion applies to them with the official authority before acting.
There is a single core route. The applicant makes a contribution to the Nauru Treasury Fund that is not refundable, which supports infrastructure, renewable energy and climate resilience. There is no separate real estate or business route under the programme.
Additional contributions apply for dependants. Confirm the current main applicant amount and the dependant amounts with the official authority.
Approval is reported to be possible in around three months, which is among the faster timelines for this type of programme. The process runs through application, due diligence, approval and then payment and issuance.
Confirm the current processing time with the official authority.
The main cost is the contribution itself, which is not refundable, plus due diligence, government and professional fees. A reduced main applicant rate has been reported as available until 30 June 2026, after which a higher standard amount is said to apply, so timing matters.
