Business Visa (Employment) and other business visa sub-classes

Nauru's business visa has several sub-classes. The Business Visa (Employment) lets the holder take up employment in Nauru, and the Business Visa (General) covers conducting a business or profession. Business visas can be granted for up to 12 months, with single or multiple entry. Fees are high: AUD 6,000 for a 12-month multiple-entry employment or general business visa, plus a non-refundable processing fee. Employees of the Republic, RONPHOS and other state corporations are exempt from visa fees.
