Nauru runs a citizenship by investment programme funded by a contribution that supports climate resilience. This page explains how Nigerian nationals can approach it and where to verify the rules.
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 requires a main applicant aged 18 or over with a clean criminal record, proof of funds, good health and a passed due diligence check. Nauru recognises dual nationality.
Citizenship by investment programmes can maintain lists of restricted nationalities that change over time. Confirm directly with the programme office whether Nigerian nationals are accepted at the time you apply, since this can shift.
The route is a single contribution channel. A non refundable contribution to the national programme, plus application and due diligence fees, leads to a grant of citizenship if the file passes vetting.
Additional family members are added through further contributions and fees per person. Confirm the current family rules and amounts with the programme authority.
The programme has been reported to deliver citizenship in as little as around three months for a clean file. Confirm the current timeline with the programme authority.
