Frequently asked questions
No. Nauru does not offer visa on arrival for Lebanese passport holders. You must obtain a visa before traveling.
Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks, but can take longer. Apply at least 6 weeks before your planned travel date.
You apply through the Nauru Department of Immigration in Yaren, or through a Nauruan embassy/consulate. The nearest embassy for Lebanese travelers is often in Suva, Fiji, or the Permanent Mission to the UN in New York. You can also mail your application to the Department of Immigration in Nauru.
You'll need a completed application form, passport valid for 6+ months, passport-sized photos, flight itinerary, accommodation proof, bank statements, and a letter explaining the purpose of your visit. Additional documents may be requested.
Visa fees vary depending on the type and duration. As of 2025, a single-entry tourist visa costs around AUD 100–150. Check with the consulate or immigration office for the exact fee.
Extensions are possible but not guaranteed. You must apply to the Department of Immigration before your current visa expires. There is a fee, and you'll need a valid reason.
Not officially, but it's strongly recommended. Medical care in Nauru is limited and expensive — evacuation to Australia can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
