🇻🇳 Vietnam visa requirements for Nicaraguan citizens

Entry rules for Nicaragua passport holders

Before traveling to Vietnam, Nicaraguan citizens must apply for an electronic visa through the official Vietnam government portal. Processing usually takes from a few hours to a few business days, so apply well before your flight. Print a copy of the approval to show at check-in and on arrival.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Vietnam immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The Nicaraguan passport ranks #90 worldwide, opening 110 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (73 visa-free, 33 with a visa on arrival and 4 with an eTA). Vietnam is not among them — it is one of the 47 destinations that still require an embassy visa or an application before departure.

In the other direction, Vietnamese citizens traveling to Nicaragua face a different rule: visa required.

Across South-Eastern Asia as a whole, 6 of 11 destinations are open to Nicaraguan travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
