Everything you need to know about the Nicaragua Immigration Form: Apply with iVisa

Do you have a business to deal with in Nicaragua? Or are you thinking about enjoying a vacation in this beautiful Central American country? Before traveling to Nicaragua you will have to apply for the Immigration Form.

This document doesn’t replace a visa, but it is mandatory to obtain as a tourist, for local authorities' use. The entry requirements are valid for travelers entering the country by land, air, or sea. No worries. It’s quick and easy to fill out the Immigration Form.

Here we will inform you of all the Nicaraguan immigration requirements and steps to apply for the document.

What is the Nicaragua Immigration Form?

The Nicaraguan government developed the Immigration Form to better control the flow of foreign nationals in the country. The Nicaraguan Ministry of Foreign Affairs intended to regulate immigration and keep it agile. This improvement in local laws is also a security measure for Nicaraguans and visitors of other nationalities that prevents the entry of people linked to organized crime and contributes to the fight against illegal drugs.

Nicaragua requires special notification to help local authorities to calculate the necessary personnel for safe migration assistance at border posts.

You must apply for the Immigration Form online at least seven days before the trip. You can use the embassy website but be prepared to spend some time filling out a confusing form. Or you can use iVisa services and submit your application in a few minutes, counting on a straightforward form and an expert team available to help you.

Since it is not a visa, you shouldn’t have any legal impediments to entering the country if you don’t submit the document. However, you may have problems with the local police at the borders, and this is an unnecessary concern for your travel. So, don't forget to fill it out before your trip!

Who Should Get the Immigration Form to enter Nicaragua?

All nationalities must apply for this document to enter Nicaragua. The Nicaraguan government recommends applying at least seven days before the trip, no matter your travel purpose: so if you have a Business Visa, a Tourist Card, or another Nicaragua Visa, you still have to apply for the Immigration Form.

According to the local laws, the Immigration Form is part of the entry and exit requirement for Nicaraguan authorities. Visitors, foreign residents, nationals, or travelers transiting have to present the document. So, you must present it at any border post, entering Nicaragua by all modes of transport (Land, Air, and Sea).

How long is the Immigration Form valid?

It’s a Single-Entry form, valid for 90 days upon arrival. So if you leave and enter Nicaragua again, you must apply for a new Immigration Form.

You must apply for the form to enter Nicaragua previously to departure, but the process is quite simple. You need only the following item:

  • Valid identity document or valid passport (six months of validity at least)
