Nauru Citizenship By Investment (CBI): The New Go-To Plan B Passport For 2025
Launched in November of 2024, the Nauru Citizenship By Investment program is the latest CBI offering to hit the market. The Nauru CBI program follows in the footsteps of Vanuatu and the 5 other Caribbean countries offering citizenship in exchange for investments (or government donations).
Offering a fast, streamlined application process (3-4 months) and a highly competitive price tag, the program is already drawing interest from around the world.
Going into 2025, the world is increasingly an uncertain place. Having multiple options for residency and citizenship (including alternative passports) is essential to safeguard your freedom, and hedge against potential government actions that could curtail your global mobility.
And if you were an early winner in the crypto space, chances are that your home government is likely already planning to tax your unrealized gains. By the time that they do so, you should have your Plan B (and even Plan C!) options in place.
So if you’re looking to obtain a highly affordable second Citizenship By Investment in a politically neutral country, Nauru could be an excellent option to consider:
The Nauru passport offers visa-free access to the UK (whereas the passports of Vanuatu and Dominica do not) – but not to the EU’s Schengen Area.
In addition, with the Nauru CBI Program’s donations priced from only $105,000 for a single applicant – as opposed to $135,500 in Vanuatu – the new Nauru citizenship program is likely to take market share away from Vanuatu.
The program’s eligible family member definitions are fairly generous, too:
The primary applicant’s spouse or de facto life partner, unmarried dependent children under the age of 30, as well as the primary applicant or spouse’s parents and/or grandparents aged 55 years or older are all eligible for inclusion.
Plus, the entire application process can be completed 100% remotely in as little as 3 months.
Let’s get into the program details below…
