Where Nauru and Bulgaria can travel visa-free together

Travelling as a pair with two different passports? Here is the full list of countries where BOTH of you can enter without a prior visa — plus where your access differs.

Where to apply: Bulgaria has no mission in Nauru

Guides tell you a visa is required but never warn that there is nowhere to file it — the mission simply does not exist in your country. We picked the nearest countries that do accept applications and measured the distance.

1
Australia 4,499 km
Applications accepted in: Canberra
2
Japan 5,045 km
Applications accepted in: Tokyo
3
South Korea 5,726 km
Applications accepted in: Seoul

Distances are measured between country centroids — a rough guide, not a route. Before you travel, confirm with the chosen consulate that it accepts applicants resident elsewhere: many operate a consular district, and out-of-district applications are not always accepted, often with a longer queue.
