What you need to enter Nauru with a Micronesian passport

Authorisation system

Immigration Division visitor visa

Visas are granted by the Immigration Division of the Department of Justice and Border Control, or by a Nauruan mission in the country where the applicant is. Nationals of visa waiver agreement countries and of the fee-exempt list (most Pacific States, China, Israel, Russia and Thailand) can request it on arrival, with no form. Everyone else has to apply before travelling, on Form 7. It is granted for holidays, visiting family, conferences or cultural and sporting activities, to anyone holding an onward ticket and the documents to enter their next destination. No visa is needed for an airport transit of under three hours.

Visa, e-Visa, or electronic authorisation? What's the difference →

Required documents

• Passport valid for at least three months from arrival, according to the UK Government (Spain's Foreign Ministry asks for six).
• Return or onward ticket and the documents to enter the next destination.
• Accommodation booking.

Transit rules

Bringing in plants and animals is controlled by the Quarantine Division. There is no public transport: one paved road circles the island, and Spain's Foreign Ministry advises hiring a car through a trusted local agent and taking a driver. Flights are few and irregular, and there is no tourist infrastructure. The Ministry warns of attacks by stray dogs, especially on beaches.
