Overview
Nauru coverage is lite because the reviewed official source packet is primarily RONLAW legal materials rather than a modern public visa-service checklist. It supports the legal framework for visitor visas, business visas, local business employment visas, public service employment visas, dependant visas, residence visas, long term stay visas, special purpose visas and temporary settlement protection-related status, but applicants should confirm the current filing place, form, fee, supporting evidence, sponsor or employer obligations and decision practice with the Director of Immigration, the Department of Justice and Border Control, a Nauruan mission or the competent Nauru authority before relying on a route. The Immigration Regulations divide business visas into sub-classes including Business Visa (General) to conduct a business or profession, Diplomatic, Education, Media, Religious Vocation, Research and Employment. The regulations say the purpose of the visa is to authorise the activity specified for that sub-class, and a business visa may be granted for a period not exceeding 2 years, for single or multiple entries, and subject to reasonable conditions. Business licensing may also be required for prescribed business activity.
