  • Family Inclusion
    Nauru’s CBI program caters to families, allowing you to include your spouse, dependent children, and in some cases dependent parents. This inclusivity ensures your entire family can benefit from second citizenship, enjoying the same security, flexibility, and opportunities.
  • No Mandatory Residency or Language Requirement
    Nauru’s CBI program does not require lengthy residency periods or proficiency in the local language, making the route to second citizenship more accessible and efficient for international applicants.
