New form Nicaragua immigration!
 

After being held up at Nicaragua immigration for over five hours we learned that there is a new form to fill out when entering Nicaragua for more than 5 days. You need to fill this out and email it to solicitudes@migob.gob.ni and a copy to preyes@migob.gob.ni BEFORE you arrive at the border! as far as I know you should then get an invitation to enter Nicaragua by email. We never read about this but our embassy assured us this is a new thing since a couple of days now but it does not get enforced 100% yet. This form should apparently speed up the process at immigration. Northern boarder gets controlled pretty harsh atm because of the vote on 5th of December and the MARAS. Ride safe!

Here's a link to the form:

Standec , were you travelling as an individual or as a member of some organized group, or a terrorist cell :confused: You do say " we were held up " ( delayed )

After looking at that Nicaraguan site and Reading the form in both Spanish and English I get the distinct impression that they are directing this procedure at ORGANIZED GROUPS , NGO for community aid .
This is the English version title intro of that page :
"" APPLICATION FORM TO THE MINISTRY OF GOVERNMENT
For the safe and organized entrance and exit to Nicaragua of visisitors of other nationalities.""

Normal tourists travelling on their own will not be impacted by this if such is the case . Please clarify your travel arrangement which precipitated this request by Nicaraguan border control .
This is an image of the Spanish version of that form title and intro.

Seems to be important only at El Espino boarder so far. know a couple of bikers that crossed there in the past couple of weeks, all had to fill out this form. two guys on klr's got held up 26h. they do not ask for it at guasaule boarder as far as I know
Good luck.

typical nica BS. even on migracion's own website there is conflicting info on requirements. i can tell you for a fact this is not being enforced at the airport.

As a single rider, travelling through Cetral America Having been through there a couple of weeks ago. Nothing unusual at the Nicaraguan border with paper work??
