Previously, Nicaraguans possessing dual-citizenship, i.e., who had become citizens in other countries (say the United States), need only provide the Directorate of Immigration (headquartered in Managua) with a valid U.S. passport and Visa to visit and exist their former homeland. There was no time limit.
However, as of Sept 6, 2011 that changed because the Directorate now requires these Nicaraguans to purchase a Nicaraguan passport if they stay more than 90 days.
This understandable does not set well with Nicaraguans who visit the country for long periods of time as they feel it is just a way for the Nicaraguan government to make money off them.
The decision titled Article 62 of the General Law of Immigration was announced at a press conference last August.
In this sense, Nicaraguans must pay as stipulated in the Constitution and laws of the country, so if they do so by entering the travel document country of nationality obtained “may leave the country with the same document you typed in, provided that this departure made within 90 days is given at the time of entry. If their stay exceeds 90 days, must pass a national law “.
Nicaraguans who have obtained another nationality and they do enter the country with travel document country of nationality obtained, may leave the country with the same document that was admitted, provided that he made his exit in the 90 days that it was gives the time of entry. If their stay exceeds 90 days, must pass a national law.
Law 761, General Law of Immigration, has as its foundation respect for human rights and the restoration of rights promoted by the Government of National Unity and Reconciliation.
