Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks, but can be longer. Apply at least 6–8 weeks before your planned departure to be safe.

You'll need a completed application form, a copy of your passport (valid 6+ months), a recent passport photo, flight itinerary, proof of accommodation, and sometimes a letter of invitation or bank statement. Check with the consulate for the exact list.
Visa fees vary and are set by the Nauru government. Expect to pay around AUD 100–200. Confirm the current fee when you apply.
