Retirement Visa Program
No dedicated retirement or passive income visa program exists for Nauru. Expats may pursue general work, family, or residency permits, but no specific retiree pathways with income/age requirements are available.

Defined contribution system (Nauru Superannuation Scheme) for Nauruan citizens with 5% employee and 5% employer contributions, accessible at age 55 or employment cessation. Limited coverage excludes non-citizens; separate parliamentary defined benefit fund.
