Documents required for Brazilians traveling to Nicaragua
Although a visa is not required, Brazilian citizens must present the following documents upon entry:
• A valid passport: It must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended date of departure from Nicaragua.
• Proof of financial means: Sufficient funds to cover living and travel expenses.
• Return or onward ticket: Evidence of intent to leave the country before the authorized stay ends.

What iconic spots in Nicaragua should citizens from Brazil explore?
For Brazilians, Nicaragua offers a range of breathtaking attractions:
1. Granada: A historic colonial city with vibrant architecture and easy access to Lake Nicaragua.
2. Ometepe Island: A unique island formed by two volcanoes, perfect for nature lovers.
3. León: Renowned for its cultural heritage and nearby volcano hikes.
4. Masaya Volcano: One of the few places where you can safely observe an active lava lake.
5. Corn Islands: Caribbean beaches ideal for relaxation and water activities.
What are the health insurance requirements for Brazilians?
Although health insurance is not mandatory for travelers to Nicaragua, it is strongly recommended. Having insurance ensures financial protection in case of unexpected medical issues, emergencies, or travel disruptions.
If you’re a citizen of a CA-4 member country (El Salvador, Guatemala, or Honduras), you can travel visa-free across these nations. If Brazilian citizens hold a visa for one of these countries, they can also access Nicaragua without applying for a new visa.
Pets entering the country must have a valid health certificate from a licensed veterinarian accompanied by a valid rabies vaccination certificate showing that your pet was vaccinated against rabies no more than 365 days and no less than 30 days prior to travel.
