isn't Nauru going to disappear under water in 15 years or so? or is it Tuvalu? jokes aside... any option achievable in months and not years is worth considering, especially for this price
but bulls**t like mandatory interview or oaths...

They are already preparing the document to rename their country to Atlantis .

are they accepting payment in cryptocurrency?

 

[aniglo22]

are they accepting payment in cryptocurrency?

That's up for the licensed agents to decide I think . But surely one will take crypto . They will probably charge 10-20k in fees additionally .

why is it important?

150,000 USD is a steep price for such a weak and irreputable passport. Nauru is not a nice place to live.

Not sure who or what they are hoping for with this. I'm sure there will be some issued, though.

I’ve been waiting for that for years.
Enough of the stereotypical tropical island, Nauru is for men:

wait... we were talking about passport, not living there... btw Lanzarote looks worse

 

[JohnnyDoe]

wait... we were talking about passport, not living there...

Being able to live there is one of the perks the only perk of a Nauru passport.

btw Lanzarote looks worse

Not in the tropics. Nauru wins.

You can live indefinitely in Nauru by simply trying to enter Australia illegally. Fully paid for accommodations. You don't even need to be burdened by a Nauruan passport.

If you manage to sneak out of the detention center, you can traverse razor sharp rocks along the beach or build a makeshift shelter in the abandoned, drained phosphor mines.

Nauru offers such an exciting lifestyle!

 

[JohnnyDoe]

abandoned, drained phosphor mines.

Phosphate. That is, guano.
Birds excrements, in other words.

Are they getting shell banks back on offer this time as well? Would be perfect for crypto to the moon era, since no correspondent relationships needed to run that

Jokes aside, offering is in the category of "camouflage passports" land. May be an option for someone desperate enough.

will for sure be very succesful. Why? Because it is the cheapest option at the moment

cheap can end up being very expensive.

 

[Henn and Rich]

cheap can end up being very expensive.

in what way?

can you imagine the stress at border checkpoints when they look at you and think its a fake passport because nobody knows this country lol

This is a completely made up problem. All border agents everywhere now just scan your passport and the software tells them if it's valid and if you can enter the country, it checks Europol, Interpol & other databases etc. They won't care as long as it's valid. Also I have a CBI passport and speaking from first hand experience.

and so you use it for traveling instead of your "real" one?

It's unfortunately not made up.

For one, you can't scan (with the same degree of accuracy) a passport that doesn't have a biometric chip. AFAIK, current Nauruan passports don't.

But I've also seen it happen to people holding even supposedly "well known" passports like Maltese and South African among others. I remember one border agent saying they had never heard of Malta and another time one said that South Africa isn't a country, it's a region. All it takes is one incompetent and/or tired/overworked officer. Especially in a country where you don't often see those passports. Sometimes even with chipped passports. They look at it and start asking questions before scanning.

While major airports are connected to databases, smaller ones can be much more limited — not to mention rural/remote land and sea crossings. When a border agent suspects a dodgy passport there, they usually end up having to call someone to verify the passport. Sometimes they can call the passport issuer from a known database of phone numbers. Sometimes they call police headquarters. It's quite an experience when it happens.

Nauru is probably one of the least known countries in the world. Show up at a crossing that isn't a major airport (or maybe even that) and there's a real risk they'll study that passport like it's the Hope Diamond. Doesn't mean you'll be refused entry. It's just a potential inconvenience to take into consideration before traveling with that passport.
