Visa Required

UK citizens must obtain a visa before travelling to Nauru, applied for in advance with Nauru's Department of Justice and Border Control since there is no visa-on-arrival or e-Visa option.

Guide last updated October 6, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid at least 6 months beyond entry
  • Completed visa application form
  • 2 passport photos
  • Confirmed return or onward flight, as flights to Nauru are infrequent (usually via Brisbane or Nadi)
  • Proof of accommodation
  • Proof of funds
  • For most visits, a sponsor or invitation letter from a resident or organisation in Nauru

Visa types

  • Visitor visa: single entry, typically 30 days, extendable
  • Business visa: requires a sponsoring company letter
  • Employment visa: requires Nauruan government or employer sponsorship and work permit approval
  • All categories require pre-approval; there is no visa-on-arrival at Nauru's Yaren airport

How to apply

  • Since Nauru has no diplomatic mission in the UK, submit the application and supporting documents directly to the Department of Justice and Border Control by email or post, or through a sponsoring contact in Nauru
  • Fee is roughly AUD 50-100 depending on visa type, usually payable by bank transfer
  • Processing commonly takes 2-6 weeks given the small size of Nauru's immigration department, so apply well ahead of any flight booking

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: approximately AUD 50-100, varies by category
  • Standard processing: 2-6 weeks
  • No expedited service is generally offered

Tips for United Kingdom travelers

  • Flights to Nauru are extremely limited (a handful of weekly routes via Brisbane, Nadi, or Honiara), so confirm your visa before booking non-refundable flights
  • Consider routing enquiries through Nauru's High Commission in Suva, Fiji, given there is no UK mission
  • A detailed cover letter explaining your purpose and sponsor reduces the risk of rejection
  • Build in several extra weeks beyond the standard processing estimate
