Nicaragua Visa – How To Apply For A Nicaraguan Visa

Does Nicaragua sound like your next travel destination? If so, you will not need to obtain a Nicaragua Visa in order to travel to Nicaragua for up to 3 months. You will need to make sure that your passport is in order. To ensure you do not face any issues that can interrupt your travel plans, go over the information regarding your passport below.

Travel Requirements

In regards to your passport, you should verify that you have a valid and up to date passport. Your passport should have a minimum of 3 months validity on it after you depart Nicaragua. We suggest a minimum of 6 months validity to be left on your passport to help avoid any issues from arising. Nicaragua has an agreement that allows the required validity period on travelers’ passports to be waived. However, your passport should be valid for the entirety of your stay in Nicaragua.

Also, you should make sure that you have enough blank visa pages in your passport book before your travel. This will allow for Nicaragua immigration to stamp your passport book with the necessary stamps throughout your trip. The minimum amount of pages recommended to be left blank are (2).

Finally, if you will be connecting to another flight on the way to Nicaragua, you should inquire with your airline company about the details of the flight. At times, countries may require a transit visa if you will be waiting in that country for a specific duration of time while waiting for your connecting flight.
