Why this verdict
Russian citizens are encoded from RONLAW's consolidated Immigration Regulations 2014 and the Nauru Immigration Division page. Source row/route: Russia / Schedule 5 visa waiver agreement country. This destination-wave matrix record 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.
Conditional rules
- Work, business, media, religious vocation, research, study, residence or other non-visitor purpose Visa required
The ordinary visitor route does not cover activities for which a business visa, special purpose visa, residence visa or another Nauru visa class may be required.
- No onward ticket, onward-entry documents or support evidence Conditional
Regulation 12 requires a valid ticket from Nauru to another country, documents needed for the onward destination, and means of support if requested.
- Stay period or waiver-agreement condition is unclear Conditional
The consolidated Schedule 5 lists the visa-waiver agreement country but does not publish the stay period in the schedule. Confirm the current agreement conditions before travel.
