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 2014 list visitor's visa as a visa class. They say a visitor's visa may only be granted to a person who holds a valid ticket for travel from Nauru to another country and documents needed to enter that destination, gives no grounds for belief they will breach a visa condition, and can show means of support if requested. The regulations also refer to visitor visas for a period not exceeding 3 months and single entry, plus visitor visa fee-exempt and visa-waiver schedules.
