Verified practical details
You don't need a visa to enter Nauru, but here are some practical details worth knowing before you travel:
With a passport from Spain
Nauru's Immigration Regulations list Spain among the visa waiver agreement countries, so Spanish citizens can enter without a prior visa. Spain's Foreign Ministry, however, still says a visa is required, so it is worth confirming with the Nauru High Commission in Canberra (nauru.highcomm@canberra.gov.nr) before travelling. The accredited Spanish Embassy is in Canberra, and emergencies are handled by the Consulate General in Sydney. Not needed when coming from Spain.
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.
