Program Overview
& Introduction
The Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program (ECRCP) is a modern citizenship by investment programme established to support climate resilience, national infrastructure, and long-term economic diversification through direct contributions to the Nauru Treasury Fund.
Unlike many citizenship programmes that focus on tourism or real estate investment, Nauru’s programme is built around a national strategy of sustainable development and sovereign resilience. Applications are administered through licensed agents and follow a structured government review process that includes due diligence, interviews, and official approval procedures.
The programme is particularly suitable for internationally mobile individuals seeking a politically neutral second citizenship in the Pacific region. It offers a streamlined application process, no physical residency requirement, and an official processing timeline of approximately three to four months.
It is important to note that although the programme previously offered a temporary discounted contribution for applications submitted before 30 June 2026, official government guidance now identifies the standard contribution amounts as the applicable reference unless the Programme Office announces otherwise.

Family Inclusion
Family applications may include a spouse, children, parents, and siblings, subject to the programme’s eligibility requirements and published fees.

The Treasury Fund Pathway
Treasury Fund Contribution
The Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program offers a single investment pathway through a non-refundable contribution to the Nauru Treasury Fund, supporting climate resilience, infrastructure, and national development projects.
Important: Official programme guidance states that the temporary discounted contribution available until 30 June 2026 has now expired. The standard contribution amounts should therefore be treated as the current reference unless the Programme Office announces otherwise.
