About

Nicaragua does not have an official Digital Nomad Visa, but you can live permanently in Nicaragua if your monthly social security or pension income is $600 or more. The minimum age to apply is 45, but it can be waived if the applicant demonstrates a stable income. Members of your household are eligible even if they don't meet the same requirements.


How can I obtain Permanent Residency in Nicaragua?

  1. You need to go to the Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería (Ministry of Migration & Foreign Affairs) and buy the form which costs $3 USD.
  2. Submit the completed form along with the procedural requirements to the Immigration Information Officer.
  3. Wait until you are informed about your DGME residence permit. Once found, you will be asked to pay the associated fee and take a photo for identification.


Important Note: All the documents from abroad need to be translated and apostilled for the Nicaraguan authorities.
