What documents do I need?

All Nicaragua entry rules by passport

This is guidance, not authorisation. Entry rules change without notice and the final decision always rests with border officials. Dual nationality, residence permits and travel for any purpose other than tourism can change the answer. Confirm with the official government source before you book or fly. trip1 is not a substitute for airline check-in or boarding compliance.
