Poland to Nicaragua visa requirements

Polish (ordinary) passport holders do NOT need a visa to enter Nicaragua for tourism. Poland is on Nicaragua's visa-exempt list (Category A), confirmed under Decree 002-2026 effective 16 February 2026. You may stay up to 90 days. On arrival you simply buy a Tourist Card for US$10 (cash) and present a passport valid for at least 6 months. As of 30 May 2026, Poland is classified by Nicaragua as a visa-exempt (Category A) country. Following Nicaragua's visa-policy overhaul under Decree 002-2026 (effective 16 February 2026), EU nationals — including Poland — retained their visa-free status while many other nationalities were moved to a "consulted visa" (Category C) requiring advance authorization. Polish tourists can therefore enter without applying for a visa in advance. The only mandatory on-arrival formality is purchasing a Tourist Card (Tarjeta de Turismo) for US$10, payable in cash at the airport or land border. The permitted stay is up to 90 days, extendable once at the immigration office (Migración y Extranjería) for an additional period upon payment of a fee. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry, and travelers should be prepared to show a return/onward ticket, proof of sufficient funds, and accommodation details. Nicaragua is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this entry. Note that political conditions in Nicaragua can change immigration practice at short notice, so verify with the Nicaraguan consulate before departure.
