Requirements to enter Nicaragua

Nicaragua maintains its demands on airlines for the reopening of their commercial operations in the country.

The direction of Civil Aeronautics announced last July that they will ask travelers for the negative result of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for covid-19, at least 72 hours before entering the country.

This requirement is required in compliance with the provisions of the Ministry of Health.

Applies to passengers and crew.

Avianca, through a statement published this Monday on its Twitter account, reported that “passengers with rapid blood test results for covid-19 may not travel, who do not present the original document for PCR testing at the airport, which does not send to the airline the copy of the test detailed above, showing respiratory symptoms or fever ».
