Making a valid application 

To make a valid application you must: 

- Use this application form (available from all Nauruan diplomatic missions, from the Department's website www.naurugov.nr/justice/visa.html or from the immigration and passport office in Nauru);

Who the form covers 

The application form only covers you as a dependant of a Nauruan citizen. A dependent of a Nauruan citizen is a spouse of the citizen (unless you are formally separated from the citizen), a child under the age of 18 years of the citizen or a person wholly dependent on the citizen for financial, psychological or physical support. 

Supporting Documents
