baktan 19:29 UTC 22 Jul 2017 | Does anyone know if one doesn't need a visa (regardless nationality) for transiting in Nauru airport? If yes, is it possible to get out from the airport or one should stay inside the airside during the transit? thx. |

agusticassa 20:45 UTC 02 Sep 2017 | a 60-year-old woman at the nauru airlines flight check-in denied the ticket to several passengers with the excuse that they had no visa, still making transit. He told me the same thing, and in the face of my insistence that I did not need a visa to be in transit he took me with the supervisor who agreed, after an unpleasant contempt and not let me talk. A disaster of personnel of nauru airlines in Brisbane. Once in Nauru, I put myself in the queue of the passengers that enter the country, although the transit passengers go up a ladder and go to a room directly. Once I arrived at the immigration officer I said that I was in transit but if you could please seal my passport, which I agreed to without any problem. From there I went to the top of the terminal, passing suitcase control and requested nauru exit stamp, to which they also kindly agreed. Since I flew to Majuro and the flight was delayed 3 hours I was allowed to leave the airport, pointing my name on a list and with the commitment to fly 1/2 hour before the expected departure of the flight. For what I could do, and other passengers on the same flight also, a walk around the vicinity of the airport and be able to briefly visit yaren, the town where nauru Airport is. | 2
