Rules in force · 2

Nauru ↗Most visitors need a visa arranged before travel, often with a hotel booking or sponsor: check with the Nauru government or a Nauru mission for your passport, and do not book flights until it is approved.
Nauru ↗Do not photograph the regional processing centre or government facilities.

The coastal ring is the whole visitor island: one 19 km road, the airport at Yaren and a few hotels. Moving hotels wastes the flight days; keep one bed and use a hotel car for short morning loops.
