Nicaragua Visas

Please note that the following information is meant for guidance purposes only. Ultimately, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that they meet all the relevant criteria for travel to Nicaragua.

British passport holders will find further information about entry requirements for Nicaragua on the Foreign & Commonwealth Travel Advice website.

In summary, British passport holders do not require a pre-arranged visa to enter Nicaragua on holiday for stays of up to 90 days. Although no formal visa is required, you will need to pay for a tourist visa on arrival. This is currently US$10, payable in cash on arrival in Nicaragua.

	Beyond The Ordinary arrange fully bonded, tailor made holidays and tours to Nicaragua. Contact one of our experts on 01580 764796, email travel@beyondtheordinary.co.uk or contact us via our website.

An online declaration is also required although, for clients booked with Beyond The Ordinary, we will complete this on your behalf approximately 1 week before travel.

On the flight to Nicaragua, you will also be asked to complete a Customs Declaration (one form per couple / family). This needs to be handed over to immigration at the airport at the same time as you pay the Tourist Visa. (You will need to complete the same form on departure from Nicaragua).

Please note that your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after your stay in Nicaragua and you must have a return / onward airline ticket.

ESTA Requirements

While British passport holders do not require a visa to enter Nicaragua on holiday, please note that if you are travelling via the United States, as most people do, regardless of whether you are transiting straight through in both directions, at the very least you will need to apply for an ESTA and, at worst, may need a visa. If you are in any doubt, please check with your nearest US Embassy.
