Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on ArrivalYou get the visa when you land, but you must meet all other entry conditions. Obtain at Nauru International Airport | Taiwan passport holders can obtain a visa on arrival at Nauru International Airport. The visa is issued for a short stay and is not extendable. Ensure you have the visa fee in Australian dollars (AUD) or a credit card for payment. | Required |
| Passport validityIf your passport expires sooner, you may be denied boarding or entry. At least 6 months beyond your intended stay | Your Taiwan passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Nauru. Check your passport's expiry date well before travel. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe immigration officer needs a clean page to stamp your visa. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for the visa stamp and entry/exit stamps. Ensure no pages are damaged or missing. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketImmigration may ask to see your outbound flight booking to ensure you will leave Nauru. Proof of departure from Nauru | You must hold a confirmed return or onward ticket to a country you are eligible to enter. The ticket must be for a date within the allowed stay period. | Required |
| Proof of sufficient fundsYou may need to prove you can support yourself financially during your visit. For your stay | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your stay in Nauru, such as cash, traveler's checks, or credit cards. The exact amount is not fixed but should be enough for accommodation and daily expenses. | Required |
| Accommodation confirmationHaving a place to stay lined up helps show your travel plans are genuine. Where you will stay | Have a confirmed hotel booking or a letter of invitation from your host in Nauru. This may be requested by immigration officers. | Recommended |
| Travel insuranceIf you get sick or injured, you may need to be evacuated to Australia, which is very costly without insurance. Medical and evacuation coverage | While not mandatory, it is strongly recommended to have travel insurance that covers medical expenses and emergency evacuation, as healthcare facilities in Nauru are limited. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou can simply proceed through immigration upon arrival. Not required | No arrival declaration is required for Taiwan passport holders entering Nauru. You do not need to complete any online form before arrival. | Not required |
Cash is king in Nauru
There are no ATMs on the island, and credit cards are rarely accepted. Bring enough AUD cash to cover your visa fee, accommodation, and daily expenses.
Flights are limited
Nauru Airlines operates a limited schedule, so book your flights well in advance. Also, the visa on arrival is only available at the airport — there's no e-visa or embassy application.
