Brazil to Nicaragua visa requirements

Brazilian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourist visits to Nicaragua. Brazil remains on Nicaragua's visa-exemption list (Category A) and can stay up to 90 days. A US$10 tourist card is purchased on arrival. As of 31 May 2026, Brazilian citizens holding an ordinary passport can travel to Nicaragua for tourism without a visa for up to 90 days. Despite Nicaragua's February 2026 immigration overhaul (Regulation/Decree 002-2026, effective 16 February 2026) that moved more than 120 nationalities into the "consulted visa" (Category C) requiring prior online authorization, Brazil was kept on the visa-exempt list. This is confirmed by the Wikipedia visa-policy table (Brazil listed visa-exempt, 90 days), the Brazilian-citizens requirements table ("Visa not required", 90 days), and law-firm analyses of the decree that name only Mexico, Peru and Colombia among Latin American countries moved to Category C — not Brazil. On arrival, all visa-exempt visitors buy a Tourist Card for US$10 and there is typically a small migration/exit fee. Travelers should carry a passport valid at least 6 months, proof of onward travel, and evidence of sufficient funds. Stays can usually be extended for an additional period at the immigration office (Migración y Extranjería) for a fee. Because Nicaragua's rules changed very recently and some aggregator sites are inconsistent, travelers should reconfirm with their airline or the nearest Nicaraguan consulate shortly before departure. Nicaragua is in Central America and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
