No visa on arrival
Nauru does not offer visa-on-arrival for Belgian passport holders. You must have a visa approved before you fly. Arriving without one means immediate denial of entry.

Internet and mobile coverage in Nauru can be patchy. Download offline maps and important documents before you arrive. An eSIM from Airalo works on arrival but data speeds may be slow.
