Nauru’s Citizenship‑by‑Investment (CBI) program has introduced a significant price reduction, positioning it as one of the most affordable non‑African options on the market.
Revised pricing
| Applicant type | Original price (USD) | Ordinary price (USD) | Special sale price* (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single applicant | 165,000 | 125,000 | 102,000 |
| Family of four (no dependents under 16) | 190,000 | 135,000 | 111,000 |
*The special sale price is available only until 30 June 2026.
The ordinary price cut lowers the required contribution by roughly $40,000 per applicant, while the limited‑time sale adds an additional discount of about $23,000 for a single applicant and $24,000 for a family of four.
Competitive context
- Vanuatu – the main non‑African competitor – still charges $185,000 for a family of four, with a current sale price of $111,000. Even after Nauru’s ordinary price reverts to $130,000, it remains $50,000–$60,000 cheaper than Vanuatu’s baseline fee.
- Nauru’s reduced fees make it the most cost‑effective non‑African CBI currently available, especially for applicants who can act before the June 2026 deadline.
Practical considerations
- The discount is time‑limited; the special sale ends on 30 June 2026. Applicants seeking the lowest cost should apply before that date.
- Nauru’s program is newer than Vanuatu’s, which has a longer track record and a larger population. While Vanuatu may offer perceived stability, the price differential is substantial.
- Applicants must verify eligibility criteria, including the definition of “dependents under 16,” which affect the family pricing tier.
Overall, the new pricing structure dramatically improves Nauru’s attractiveness for investors looking for a non‑African citizenship option, provided they act within the limited promotional window.
