Business Visa

The Business Visa is regulated under the Immigration Act 2014 and the Immigration Regulations 2014, designed to facilitate professional, commercial, and investment-related activities. It addresses the need for a structured framework to allow foreign experts, investors, and business representatives to engage in economic activities that support Nauru’s development. By mandating a local sponsor, the government ensures that all commercial entries are vetted and linked to legitimate local entities, thereby maintaining oversight of foreign influence and economic engagement on the island.

This visa is for foreign nationals conducting professional or commercial business, such as attending meetings, negotiating contracts, or establishing business operations. It is essential for consultants, technical experts, and investors. A key requirement is the sponsorship by a registered Nauruan company or government entity, along with a formal invitation letter detailing the purpose of the trip. It is distinctive for its flexibility in duration, ranging from short-term single-entry visits to longer-term multiple-entry permits, depending on the specific nature of the business activity.
