Why this verdict
South Korean citizens are encoded from RONLAW's consolidated Immigration Regulations 2014 and the Nauru Immigration Division page. Source row/route: South Korea / Schedule 4 simplified visitor-visa application 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.
