Why this verdict

Chinese citizens' entry guidance is based on RONLAW's consolidated Immigration Regulations 2014 and the Nauru Immigration Division page. Official source label: People's Republic of China / Schedule 3 fee-exempt visitor-visa-on-entry route. This guidance is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short visitor travel only. Work, business, media, residence, diplomatic/service passports, official missions, sponsor handling, carrier handling, onward-entry documents and Nauru immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official Nauru Immigration or RONLAW source before booking.
