Nicaragua travel – Entry requirements

It is always advisable to consult the Nicaraguan embassy in your home country, since entry requirements for Nicaragua travel differ depending on your nationality. Generally speaking, you must have a valid passport that will not expire within the next 6 months to enter Nicaragua. This is necessary even if you are only passing through Nicaragua on your way to another country. For many nationalities, a VISA will also be required for Nicaragua travel. If your home country is the United States of America, one of the European Union states or one of a few certain Latin American countries, you will not need a VISA. You will instead pay a small fee at the border and receive a tourist card valid for 30 or 90 days.

Please note that entry requirements can change from one day to another, so it is always a good idea to consult the Nicaraguan embassy before each visit. The rules that were applicable the last time you visited Nicaragua, or when this article was written, may have changed since then.
