Policy note
Announced by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, in effect 19 November (Wikipedia dates the Nauru side 19 Nov 2017): https://gulfnews.com/uae/government/uae-nauru-sign-visa-exemption-mou-1.2132920 .
Corroborated by en.wikipedia.org 'Visa requirements for Emirati citizens' (Nauru: visa not required, 90 days, ordinary passports). Not located in Nauru's online gazettes (likely a Schedule 5 visa-waiver item added by a pre-2025 amendment not published online); distinct from the diplomatic/official-only China/India/Cuba entries and from Schedule 3 fee-exempt countries that still require an advance visa.

Nauru visa types
Dependant VisaFamily
multiple entry~$700
Permits family members (dependants) of valid Nauru visa holders to accompany or join them in Nauru.
CORRECTED (2026-07-17): the fee shown was previously set to 1000 (the raw AUD digit copied unconverted). Fee is AUD 1,000 per the justice.gov.nr fee table (denominated in AUD, confirmed by the nauru.gov.nr visa-requirements page's explicit 'AUD$8000' wording for the same table). Converted at the prevailing AUD/USD rate (~0.70 as of mid-July 2026): USD 700. Issued to dependants of holders of other valid Nauru visas. Application by email to the Immigration Division. Specific eligibility (relationship types, age limits) not published in detail online. 'entries' set to 'multiple' as a reasonable default matching the principal visa holder's entry type; not explicitly stated on the official fee table.
Official page โEmployment VisaWork
90 dayssingle entry~$700valid 90d
Permits a foreign national to take up private-sector employment in Nauru under a local sponsoring employer.
CORRECTED (2026-07-17): the fee shown was previously set to 1000 (the raw AUD digit, unconverted) and 'entries' was set to 'multiple', which mismatched the priced tier. The justice.gov.nr fee table lists Business visa (Employment) at two tiers: AUD 1,000 for a single-entry visa valid up to 3 months, and AUD 8,000 for a multiple-entry visa valid up to 12 months. This entry now reflects the single-entry/3-month tier (AUD 1,000 -> USD 700 at the prevailing ~0.70 AUD/USD rate, mid-July 2026); the multiple-entry 12-month tier (AUD 8,000, approx. USD 5,600) is also available for certain categories. Plus an AUD 50 processing fee applies to Business Visa applications. Distinct from the Local Business (Employment) Visa (restricted to work with 100% Nauruan-owned businesses) and the Public Service Employment Visa (government sector). Requires a local sponsoring employer. Application by email to the Immigration Division.
Official page โLocal Business (Employment) VisaWork
Permits employment with Nauruan businesses or 100% Nauruan-owned companies operating in Nauru.

Official page โBusiness Visa (Diplomatic)Diplomatic
multiple entryfree
Permits a foreign national to perform the role of diplomatic or consular representative of a foreign country in Nauru.
Diplomatic sub-category of the Business Visa, listed on the justice.gov.nr 'Fees for Classes of Visas' table as 'Business visa (Diplomatic) - Perform the role of diplomatic or consular representative of a foreign country' with no fee shown against either the multiple-entry (12-month) or single-entry (3-month) columns, i.e. fee-exempt - the same '-' notation used for the confirmed fee-exempt Religious Vocation and Education sub-categories elsewhere in the same table. This sub-category was already referenced in this dataset's Business Visa (General) notes ('plus a fee-exempt Diplomatic/Consular sub-category') but had never been recorded as its own visa_types entry until now. Application by email to the Immigration Division (visa@naurugov.nr). Verified 2026-07-17 via direct fetch of the live justice.gov.nr/immigration-division/ fee table.
Official page โLong Term Stay VisaOther

A special long-term visa class for persons from states with bilateral arrangements with Nauru, introduced in 2025.
