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 (Public Service Employment Visa) Regulations 2025 establish a visa for people or groups eligible under an employment contract or consultancy services contract with a public service body. The application is submitted by the head of the public service body, uses Schedule 1 or an approved form, includes employment or consultancy details, authenticated identity, medical report, police report and other information required by the Director. The visa has no fee, allows unlimited multiple entry and exit, and lasts for at least the term of the contract.
