  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: There is no UK VFS/BLS center for Nauru visa applications; visas are issued by Nauru authorities at the point of entry or via official channels; verify on nauru.gov.nr.
  • Travel advisories or bilateral notes: Check UK government travel advice for Nauru and any health or entry advisories before you travel.
  • Extension options inside Nauru: Extensions may be possible through the Nauru Immigration Office; typical extension durations are up to 30 days with applicable fees (e.g., around AUD 60). Extension must be applied before your visa expires.
