In this article
Naoero (formerly Nauru) grants citizenship through the Naoero Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program, run by the Naoero Program Office under the Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Act 2024 and its Regulations. Each contribution supports climate resilience and development in Naoero.
The contribution
- Contribution: US$115,000 for the principal applicant since 29 January 2026, plus US$2,000 for each eligible dependent aged 16 or above.
- Iruwa Initiative: for applications accepted up to 31 December 2026, the principal applicant’s contribution is US$90,000.
- When you pay: after approval in principle, within 30 days of the approval letter. Your capital is not committed until the Program Office has approved your family.
Your advisor gives you the full amount for your family in writing before you start.
Who can be included
Your spouse, your children (including adopted children), the parents and grandparents of you or your spouse, and your siblings or your spouse’s siblings, as the Act defines eligible dependents.
