Nauru rules for every passport
Vaccinations, customs limits and penalties are the same for every traveller. Grounds for refusal depend on how you enter.
Vaccinations
- Yellow fever: the certificate is required from travellers over one year old arriving from countries with risk of transmission.
Customs limits
- Cash
- The currency is the Australian dollar. Bring cash: cards are rarely accepted and the few cash machines are often empty.
Overstay penalties
Anyone who stays after their visa expires pays 50 dollars for each day, according to the fee table of the Immigration Act 2014. The Immigration Division serves notices on overstayers and enforces removal orders.
Grounds for refusal
Apply to: Visa-free, Visa on arrival
- Having no onward ticket or documents for the next destination.
- Being unable to show means of support when asked.
Apply to: Visa required
- Arriving without a visa from a country that cannot request one on arrival.
- Having no onward ticket or documents for the next destination.
- Being unable to show means of support when asked.
Travel insurance
Each destination decides whether to require insurance, and some check it at the border. If yours does, make sure the policy covers the whole trip.

Do you need a different visa for Yaren, Denigomodu, or Aiwo?
No. Nauru sets the requirements, so entering through Yaren asks for the same as entering through Denigomodu or Aiwo. If you're arriving overland or through a small border post, check that separately: some countries apply their own rules to specific crossings.
What does change is where you file the application when a visa is needed, and that depends on the country you live in rather than the city you're travelling to.
