About the Nauru Passport
Nauru holds rank 45, a mid-table position. Its citizens travel visa-free to 45 countries, and total mobility reaches 113 destinations once eTAs, visas on arrival, and e-Visas are counted. Africa and North America tie as the strongest regions with 14 visa-free destinations each, while South America is the weakest at 2, so trips there need some extra thought.
Among the key destinations, the United Arab Emirates and Singapore are visa-free. The United Kingdom requires an eTA and Australia offers an e-Visa. France and the Schengen area, the United States, Canada, Japan, China, and Brazil all require a visa in advance, so Europe, the Americas, and East Asia call for planning. A second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to 67 destinations, which would open up many of those routes.
Visa-Free Access by Region
Nauru passport holders can enter 45 destinations visa-free or with a simple eTA. Destinations with a green outline have residency or citizenship programs you can explore.
