Visa free

Under Disposición 002-2026, in force from 16 February 2026, Nicaragua's migration directorate lists the nationalities that do not need a visa to enter — among them the US, Canada, the UK, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Saudi Arabia and Qatar — and those that need a consulted visa (Category C), among them Mexico, Colombia, New Zealand, China, India and Cuba (for several, ordinary passports only). The UK Foreign Office says British visitors can stay up to 90 days without a visa and must pay an arrival tax of 10 US dollars in cash. The directorate's leaflet says the consulted visa is applied for, paid for and downloaded online, without going to a consulate.

    The UK Foreign Office tells British visitors, who can visit Nicaragua for up to 90 days without a visa, that they may be refused entry if they do not have an onward ticket. Nicaragua's migration directorate says applicants for a Category C consulted visa must present a return ticket to their country of origin or departure.

  5. Proof of funds

    Canada's travel advice says customs officials may ask you to show proof of sufficient funds to cover your stay. No official source we could read states an amount.

  6. Vaccinations

    The UK Foreign Office says you must have a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you are coming from a country listed as a transmission risk. WHO's country list gives the requirement for travellers aged 1 year or over arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission.
