What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa
Submit a visa application to the Nauru Department of Immigration or the nearest Nauru consulate. There is no online e-visa system for Cyprus passport holders. You'll need to provide your passport, a completed application form, passport photos, flight itinerary, accommodation proof, and possibly a letter of invitation. Processing can take several weeks, so apply at least 4–6 weeks before your trip.

Wait for approval
After submitting, wait for the visa decision. You may be contacted for additional documents. Once approved, you'll receive a visa grant letter — print it and keep it with your passport.

Arrive at Nauru International Airport (INU)
On arrival, go to the immigration counter. Present your passport (with visa grant letter), return ticket, and accommodation confirmation. The officer will stamp your passport. The process is straightforward but can be slow if multiple flights arrive at once.
