Nicaragua Visas

Learn more about Nicaragua visas in IL Postcards.

All passports must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of your entry into the country.

Citizens of the UK, USA, Scandinavia, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and the European Union do not need visas and are issued a tourist card (U.S.$5) valid for 90 days on arrival. Citizens of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and European countries that do not have reciprocal agreements with Nicaragua will require either a visa or a tourist card allowing a 30-day stay.

Those who require visas must also obtain an exit permit; however, if you are in Nicaragua on business, you are usually exempt from the requirement.
