Nauru, the world’s smallest island, is planning to sell passports to help combat climate change. Where is Nauru located? Why is it selling its passports? A news collection about it.
Nauru is an island known as PLEASANT ISLAND. If there is a place in the world to relax peacefully with beautiful beaches and a pleasant warm breeze, it is Nauru.
Nauru is a beautiful island with coral reefs, beautiful white sand beaches lined with palm trees, freshwater lakes, and limestone caves.
Nauru, a remote Pacific Ocean country, has an area of just 21 square kilometers. Nauru is the third smallest country in the world. The total length of the country’s roads is just 30 kilometers. The country’s flag has 12 stars because 12 tribal groups live there. This small country has a total population of just 10,000 people.
Nauru is a country without its own financial resources or financial investment. The currency of the country is the Australian dollar. In Nauru, which is a democracy, the president acts as both head of state and head of government.
For many years, the entire island has been turned into a wasteland due to phosphate mining.
In addition, due to climate change, sea level rise and severe flooding, people living in low-lying houses on the island of Nauru are being greatly affected.
President David Adiang has decided to raise $65 million to cover the cost of resettling 10,000 people. It has been announced that new townships, holiday farms and offices will be built with this fund.
To that end, President David Adiang plans to sell the country’s citizenship passport. According to this plan, citizenship of Nauru will be sold for $150,000.
If you pay this money, you will be granted citizenship of Nauru within four months. Foreigners who obtain citizenship of Nauru in this way will not actually travel to or stay on the island of Nauru.
Instead, it has been announced that visa-free travel will be granted to 107 countries, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Britain, and the United Arab Emirates.
To obtain citizenship of Nauru, you must be at least 18 years old and must pay a legal fee.
The minimum fee is set at 130,000 US dollars for a single applicant, 137,500 US dollars for a family of two to four members, and 145,000 US dollars for a family of five or more members.
It is also worth noting that applicants for citizenship of Nauru must have no criminal record or legal case in any country.
The Nauru government estimates that the project will generate about 9 million Australian dollars over the next 12 months, starting next June.
