Does it fit your family?

One question, from the program’s own rules.

Do you have a binding job offer in that country?

Not legal advice.

2

What it takes.

Time
The issuing authority decides the application after the complete sponsored file and prerequisite approvals are lodged.
Cost
No visa fee under the 2025 regulations.
The hard part
A qualifying public-service contract and sponsoring body’s submission.

This visa doesn’t lead to a passport.

    First residence permit

    1 year, renewable for 1 year at a time.

Two passports
Yes. You keep your U.S. citizenship.

Living there.

Time you must spend there
The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax
Where you become tax resident follows the days you spend there and where your home is. We map it for your family before you move.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.

Postern can run this for you.

Postern runs it for one adult US employee contracted with a Nauru government department, statutory authority or public enterprise: head-of-body filing, fee-free issued public-service visa, arrival and fresh same-body applications for continued employment.

14 steps, from the first paper to every renewal. You do 4 of them: send what we ask for, sign, and show up. We run the rest, and keep every permit renewed on time. Opening your bank accounts there is included, whether you move now or keep the plan ready. Government fees, record fees and other costs you approve are extra.
