The check takes 2 working days.

2.

Preparation and submission of documents

Lawyers prepare the documents and complete government forms. The documents are translated and notarised. 

The completed set of documents is uploaded to the government system, so there is no need to send original documents to Naoero. The investor pays the government fees.

3.

Initial applicant review

The program office reviews the documents and issues a confirmation that the application has been submitted.

4.

Due Diligence and decision on citizenship

The program office conducts a Due Diligence check on the investor and their family members and prepares a recommendation on the grant of citizenship. At this stage, the investor and their relatives may be invited to an interview.

The investor’s documents are sent to the Cabinet of Ministers of Naoero, which makes the final decision on the grant of citizenship.

5.

Transfer of the investment

The applicant makes a non-refundable contribution to the fund and pays the passport issuance fee. This must be done within 30 days after receiving approval.
