ETIAS FOR NICARAGUANS

This website is not associated with or owned by the EU. The European Union’s official website is europa.eu.

  • EU Schengen
  • Non-EU Schengen States
  • Non-Schengen EU States
The majority of ETIAS applications are likely to be approved. If their ETIAS application is refused, Nicaraguans will need to seek for a visa to travel to Europe. If you are denied an ETIAS visa waiver, you can verify your eligibility for other European visas (such as the full visiting visa) and apply for them.
Individual ETIAS visa waivers are available for three years. A valid ETIAS permits its possessor to travel Europe only for brief periods of time. If you are given an ETIAS visa waiver for Europe, you will be permitted to stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days at a time for a period of six months.

Your ETIAS authorization is directly related to the Nicaraguan passport you used to apply. This implies that if your passport expires, you must apply for a new ETIAS visa waiver, even if you applied less than three years ago.

The ETIAS visa waiver is valid for tourist, business, and transportation. It is not a work permit, and its possessor is not permitted to work within the Schengen region.

If you enter the Schengen Area with an ETIAS visa waiver and begin working, you will be in violation of the terms of your ETIAS authorization. Failure to follow the provisions of your travel authorization document may result in the revocation of your ETIAS. You may also be barred from applying for ETIAS and other European travel authorizations in the future.

This does not preclude Nicaraguan nationals from working within the Schengen area. If you have a Nicaraguan passport and want to work in Europe, you may be able to obtain a work visa based on your personal circumstances and the immigration regulations of the European nation where you want to migrate.

ETIAS stands for electronic travel authorization system. This implies that ETIAS applications may be totally completed online. You may apply for ETIAS from anywhere in the globe as long as you have access to a computer or laptop and a good internet connection.

To pay the ETIAS application cost, you will also need your passport, an active email account, and a valid debit or credit card. The application is meant to take only a few minutes to complete, and automatic processing will be quick. It is, however, best to apply at least a few days before travel.

ETIAS is a temporary travel authorization and should not be utilised to obtain longer visas or permanent residency. This implies that European authorities expect all ETIAS holders (including Nicaraguans) to follow the terms of their travel authorization and depart the Schengen region before the 90-day period expires and/or the ETIAS visa waiver expires. Upon arrival, border control authorities may request documentation of your plans to depart Europe, such as a return flight ticket.

If you are a Nicaraguan citizen with an ETIAS and believe you will be unable to leave the Schengen area before your 90-day visa expires, you must get a visa that enables you to stay in Europe for an extended amount of time.

For visa information for Nicaraguan citizens, you may also contact your embassy or consulate. If you do nothing and your ETIAS permission expires, you might risk penalties and perhaps deportation.
