    ["Fresh food, plants and animal products are restricted. Declare anything agricultural.", "Drones may be brought in and flown only with prior authorisation from the Ministry of the Interior, which Law 1230 (December 2024) allows only in special cases such as scientific work, search and rescue or authorised tourist, sporting and cultural events; UK advice describes possession and use as prohibited.

    bestTimeToVisit

    Before
    December to April is the dry season — reliable weather for the volcanoes, Granada and the Pacific surf coast. The Caribbean side is wetter year-round and best around March and April.
    After
    No official source we could read gives a best time to visit Nicaragua. Canada's travel advice says the rainy season runs from May through November, with October the wettest month, and the hurricane season from mid-May (Pacific) or early June (Caribbean) to the end of November.

  6. Nicaragua

    payments

    Before
    Cards work in Managua, Granada, León and larger hotels, but córdoba cash rules everywhere else — markets, buses, Ometepe and the Caribbean coast. US dollars are widely accepted, though torn or heavily marked notes are refused.
    After
    Canada's travel advice says credit cards are usually accepted but ATMs may not be available outside major cities, and that US dollars are easily exchanged at banks or official exchange offices. The UK Foreign Office says the US dollar is the only foreign currency freely exchangeable and warns against changing money on the street.

  9. New Zealand

    Customs notes

    Before
    Clean hiking boots, tents and sports gear before you fly. Officers inspect and can treat or seize dirty equipment.
    After
    Wood and leather products, golf clubs, tents and fishing equipment can carry pests or diseases, the UK says: if in doubt, declare them to a Biosecurity New Zealand official or put them in the marked bins at the airport.

  10. New Zealand

    Customs notes

    Before
    Biosecurity is taken extremely seriously: declare ALL food, plants, animal products and outdoor equipment — undeclared risk goods carry an instant NZD 400 fine.
    After
    The UK says it is illegal to import most food products into New Zealand and that you must declare anything that may be prohibited; breaking the rules can mean a fine of up to NZ$100,000 or a prison sentence.

    Less than you might expect: many supermarkets, shops and even market stalls are card-only…
    After
    Credit cards not widely accepted; have enough cash (Government of Canada)

  16. Netherlands

    Travel tip

    Before
    Don't rely on cash: many Dutch supermarkets and shops are card-only, and some accept only debit (Maestro/V PAY) rather than foreign credit cards.
    After
    (removed)

  17. Netherlands

    Travel tip

    Before
    Public transport uses OVpay: check in and out with a contactless bank card or phone on every train, tram, metro and bus — forgetting to check out triggers a penalty fare.
    After
    (removed)

  18. Netherlands

    Payments

    Before
    Cards widely accepted, cash of low importance; many shops card-only
    After
    Credit cards not widely accepted; have access to enough cash (Government of Canada)

  19. Nepal

    Tip

    Before
    Bring the visa fee in cash (USD preferred, crisp notes). Card payment and the airport kiosks are unreliable — pre-filling the online form at nepaliport.immigration.gov.np saves a long wait.
    After
    The UK FCDO says you can apply online for a visa on arrival up to 15 days before you arrive, then collect and pay at the airport. You can pay by card, but bring cash as a back-up — US dollars are preferred.

  20. Nepal

    FAQ answer

    Before
    Yes. Most routes require a TIMS card and/or national park or conservation area entry fees (for example Sagarmatha for Everest, ACAP for Annapurna), and restricted regions such as Upper Mustang or Manaslu need special permits obtained through a registered trekking agency, sometimes with a mandatory guide.
    After
    Yes. The UK FCDO says you need a valid permit and a TIMS card to enter Nepal's main trekking regions, and that all foreign independent trekkers must use a local guide or porter in national parks and protected areas. It points to the Nepal Tourism Board for the TIMS requirements.

  21. Nepal

    Tip

    Before
    Buy insurance that explicitly covers trekking at your maximum altitude and helicopter evacuation. Standard policies often stop at 3,000 m — well below Everest Base Camp or the Thorong La.
    After
    The UK FCDO advises making sure your insurance covers mountain rescue and helicopter costs, and warns that rapid helicopter evacuation can be hard to get in remote areas. It also reports guides taking trekkers too high too fast and then calling in helicopter evacuations they profit from.

  22. Nepal

    Tip

    Before
    Most treks need permits on top of your visa: a TIMS card and/or national park or conservation area fees (Annapurna, Sagarmatha, Langtang), and restricted areas like Upper Mustang require special permits arranged through a registered agency.
    After
    The UK FCDO says you need a valid permit and a TIMS (Trekking Information Management System) card to enter Nepal's main trekking regions, and that all foreign independent trekkers must use a local guide or porter in national parks and protected areas.

  23. Nepal

    Customs note

    Before
    Drones may not be brought in and flown without prior permits; satellite phones also require authorization.
    After
    The UK FCDO says it is illegal to buy, sell, kill or capture any wild animal or trade its parts without a licence, and that Nepal bans trade in wildlife products without a CITES permit.

  24. Nepal

    Customs note

    Before
    Duty-free allowance: 200 cigarettes and 1.15 liters of spirits per adult.
    After
    The UK FCDO says some skincare products and e-cigarette refills contain ingredients that are illegal in Nepal, such as CBD; police may seize them and charge you with drug possession.
