For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

A special purpose visa may be granted to a person who wishes to enter or remain in Nauru in order to engage in an activity in connection with legal proceedings, other than an activity for which a business visa may be granted.

What short-visit purposes does this route cover?

The visa covers only the purpose specified in it: it must specify the purpose for which it is granted, and the holder may not, except with the Secretary's approval, engage in any activity for which a business visa may be granted other than one covered by the visa.
