If you are from #Africa, #Asia or any region that does not have access to a Nicaraguan Embassy but you need a visa for travel or tourism to #Nicaragua you will be required to first travel to a country like Egypt or Senegal, or some place that has an assigned embassy. There is no short cut, no bypass to this process. You must do this. You cannot ask for a reference, you cannot send someone else, you can’t ask someone in Nicaragua to do this for you. You must appear in person. At this time I can only verify Cairo, Egypt as an option.
I am regularly asked if I will provide these services or some means of allowing Africans specifically to bypass going to the embassy in person. First of all, that’s not an option ever. You are required to appear in your own person. Second, I am a tourist in Nicaragua and have no access to Nicaraguan resources more than you do.

This applies far beyond Africa, but Africa specifically has very few options and it is the only region from which I get these questions. But I get them a lot.

I'm sorry, could you please clarify that for me. 🙂
Okay, so the president of Nicaragua doesn't take your calls about changing visa requirements, but have you talked to him about getting a drone yet? 🤔
We're very fortunate to have been born in a country with a strong passport.
Here are a couple of things I can add here. Firstly, the easiest way to find visa requirements to go to any country is the Wikipedia page. In this case, it is the Wikipedia page that says "Visa Policy of Nicaragua"; it is constantly updated and it can be cross-verified with embassy websites.
Now on to the question. Firstly, Nicaragua allows for "substitute visas" from the US, Canada, and the Schengen Zone for all nationals except Iranians and Mainland Chinese. This means that if someone has a visa from one of these three places then they can use that visa to enter Nicaragua in lieu of a Nicaraguan visa. The logic behind this is that getting visas to those places is a lot harder so naturally if one is able to get a harder visa they will likely be able to get a Nicaraguan visa.
Secondly, Nicaragua will allow acceptance of any CA-4 visa, so one can get a visa from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador to enter Nicaragua.
If I was in the position of this individual I would get a Schengen visa. Firstly the EU has embassies everywhere so there is likely an embassy in their country. Beyond that, though a lot of African countries will need to transit through Europe, so getting a Schengen visa kills two birds with one stone. Also, the Schengen visa is accepted as a substitute visa in many other countries like Mexico, all of CA-4, Colombia etc.
Either that or go to another country that has CA-4 embassies.
you seem like a kind person
Please help. I am still confused about the 90 days. I stayed two months in Guatemala, then stayed a few days in San Salvador, then traveled through Honduras to final destination of Nicaragua. I have stamps in my passport from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. Only received papers from Nicaragua, no stamp. So how to figure out the number of days I can stay in Nicaragua?
