Nauru

Visas

It's a frustrating and lengthy process to obtain a visitor visa for Nauru. Visas must be approved before arrival and you must bring a letter of confirmation with you. Visas are free for official visitors; others pay A$100 on arrival, at which point you give your passport to the immigration authorities and pick it up, with visa stamped, from the immigration office (444 3133; fax 444 3832) in the government buildings the next working day. Ask for Ernest Stephen, the helpful chief immigration officer, if you have problems on arrival.
