Il Nauru Climate Resilience Citizenship Act (lanciato novembre 2024) offre l'elaborazione CBI più veloce al mondo — soli 45-60 giorni dalla domanda al passaporto. I fondi di investimento sono destinati all'infrastruttura di adattamento climatico di Nauru, proteggendo le coste dell'isola dall'innalzamento dei livelli del mare.
Nota importante: L'Unione Europea ha revocato permanentemente l'accesso senza visto per i possessori di passaporto Nauru a dicembre 2024. Il passaporto Nauru copre ora 88 paesi senza visto, principalmente nel Pacifico, in Asia e in parti dell'Africa.
Perché Nauru?
- CBI più veloce al mondo — passaporto in 45–60 giorni
- A partire da USD 105.000 — tra i più convenienti a livello globale
- Zero imposte sul reddito, zero capital gains, zero imposte di successione
- Investimento significativo — finanzia direttamente la protezione climatica
- Cittadinanza dell'isola del Pacifico — ideale per investitori che mirano ai mercati del Pacifico
Per chi è più indicato Nauru? Investitori che hanno bisogno di un passaporto Plan B veloce e non sono principalmente motivati dal viaggio senza visto in UE. Da combinare al meglio con un altro programma dei Caraibi o europeo per una copertura globale completa.

Important limitation: Nauru passport holders require a Schengen visa for EU/EEA travel following the December 2024 revocation. Investors needing EU mobility should consider a Caribbean programme (Schengen access preserved) or combine Nauru with an existing EU-access passport. Mirabello Consultancy will provide an honest assessment of whether Nauru fits your mobility objectives.

Requirement and Eligibility
The Nauru Passport — The World's Fastest CBI Programme
The Nauru passport provides visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to approximately 88 countries and territories. As the world's smallest island republic and a Commonwealth nation, Nauru offers a distinctive second citizenship profile — most notably the world's fastest Citizenship by Investment processing time at just 45–60 days from application to passport in hand.
Established under the Climate Resilience Citizenship Act 2024, Nauru's programme is unique in directly linking investment to climate adaptation and sea level rise protection — a compelling proposition for environmentally conscious investors and those who value their investment having a tangible developmental purpose.
Critical note — EU visa-free access revoked: The European Union permanently revoked visa-free access for Nauru passport holders in December 2024. Nauru citizens now require a Schengen visa for travel to the EU/EEA. This is a significant limitation compared to Caribbean programmes that retain full Schengen access. Prospective investors must factor this into their decision. [VERIFY: current Schengen/EU visa requirements for Nauru]
Key Destinations — Nauru Visa-Free Access
Despite the EU restriction, the Nauru passport maintains visa-free access to the Pacific Island Forum members, numerous Commonwealth nations, select Asian markets, and several major economies. Key accessible destinations include Australia [VERIFY], the United Kingdom [VERIFY], New Zealand [VERIFY], and Pacific regional nations.
Who Benefits Most
- Investors requiring fastest possible processing: At 45–60 days, no CBI programme globally processes faster. If speed is the primary criterion, Nauru is unmatched.
- Pacific business professionals: Strong connectivity within the Pacific Islands Forum region
- Budget-conscious investors: At $105,000, Nauru is the most affordable pathway to a passport from a genuine sovereign nation with Commonwealth membership
- Environmentally conscious investors: Investment directly funds climate resilience infrastructure — SEA WALL protection, renewable energy, and climate adaptation for a nation facing existential sea-level rise threat
- Complement to EU mobility: Best used alongside an existing EU/Schengen passport, as Nauru does not provide European access

Country taxes
Nauru Tax Overview for CBI Investors
Nauru is a zero-tax jurisdiction. There is no personal income tax, no capital gains tax, no inheritance tax, and no wealth tax in Nauru. For investors, this means acquiring Nauruan citizenship creates no tax obligations whatsoever — regardless of whether you reside in Nauru or not.
| Tax Type | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Income Tax | None | Nauru levies no personal income tax. Residents and non-residents: zero income tax obligation. |
| Capital Gains Tax | None | No capital gains tax on any asset class. |
| Inheritance / Estate Tax | None | No inheritance, estate, or succession taxes. |
| Wealth Tax | None | No annual net worth or wealth tax. |
| Corporate Tax | Minimal | Very limited corporate tax framework. Foreign-incorporated entities without Nauru operations: not applicable. [VERIFY] |
| Import Duties | Variable | Import duties apply to goods brought into Nauru. Not relevant for CBI investors not residing there. |
Important: Nauru's zero-tax status does not exempt you from taxes in your country of residence. If you are a tax resident of the UK, USA, Germany, or another country with worldwide taxation, you remain fully subject to those tax obligations regardless of which second citizenship you hold. The tax-free status of Nauru is only directly beneficial if you establish legal tax residency in Nauru — which requires physical relocation. Always obtain independent international tax advice.
Contact Mirabello Consultancy to discuss how Nauru citizenship fits into your overall financial and tax strategy.
Country dual citizenship
Dual Citizenship — Nauru
Nauru permits dual and multiple citizenship. Acquiring Nauruan citizenship by investment does not require you to renounce any existing citizenship. All current passports and nationalities are fully preserved.
- No renunciation of existing citizenship required at any point
- Permanent citizenship — no ongoing investment or residency obligation after issuance
- Children born to Nauruan citizens after naturalisation acquire citizenship by descent [VERIFY]
- Commonwealth consular network available globally for emergency assistance
Strategic Positioning of Nauru Citizenship
Nauru citizenship is most strategically valuable as a speed-focused addition to an existing passport portfolio — particularly for investors who already hold an EU/Schengen passport and simply need an additional document for specific Pacific, African, or Commonwealth travel. Its 45–60 day processing is unmatched when urgent second citizenship is required.
For investors without existing EU mobility, pairing Nauru with a Caribbean programme (such as Grenada or Antigua & Barbuda) provides full Schengen and UK coverage alongside Nauru's speed and zero-tax profile.
