Visa on arrival

  • Available at Augusto C. Sandino International Airport in Managua and major land border crossings
  • Present your passport, proof of onward travel, and accommodation details at the immigration counter
  • Pay the visa fee in cash USD directly at the counter
  • The visa also typically covers travel within the other CA-4 countries without needing a separate visa for each

Tips for Egypt travelers

  • Since Nicaragua has no embassy in Egypt, most Egyptian travelers arrange entry via the visa-on-arrival process; confirm current nationality-based fee tiers with cancilleria.gob.ni before travel, as these are updated periodically
  • Carry exact USD cash, as card payment is often unavailable at border counters
  • The CA-4 agreement means your Nicaraguan visa may allow onward travel to Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador without a new visa - confirm validity dates at entry
  • Extensions are handled by the Nicaraguan Immigration Directorate (Direccion General de Migracion y Extranjeria) in Managua
  • Keep a printed hotel confirmation and return ticket, as these are the most commonly requested documents at the counter
