Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the full period you plan to stay in Nicaragua. Airlines check this at check-in. If your passport expires within 6 months, carry a printed copy of your onward ticket to show you leave before expiry. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Nicaragua | Immigration officers at Managua Airport routinely ask for a printed or digital onward ticket showing you leave within 90 days. Budget airlines enforce this strictly at check-in. Have a copy ready on your phone or printed. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Officers sometimes ask for a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from a host. A simple booking confirmation from Booking.com or Airbnb works. Keep a printed copy or screenshot. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Immigration may ask for bank statements or cash to prove you have at least $200–$300 for your stay. A recent bank statement or a credit card with a decent limit usually satisfies them. | Recommended |
eVisa is mandatory — no visa on arrival
Lithuanian citizens cannot get a visa on arrival in Nicaragua. You must have the approved eVisa printed and with you before you board your flight. Airlines will check this at check-in.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Nicaraguan immigration requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. If your passport expires sooner, you will be denied entry even if you have a valid eVisa.
