Overview

SIGNIFICANT PROCESS CHANGE: Nicaragua overhauled its visa regime under Provision/Disposición 002-2026 (Ministry of the Interior, effective 16 Feb 2026), which re-confirmed Bangladesh under Category "C" (Consulted Visa — restricted, prior authorization required; ~128 countries in this tier). As of 23 Feb 2026, the Category C "Consulted Visa" application process was fully digitized: entirely online (application + fee payment) via the Ministry of Interior's portal (tramitesconsulares.mint.gob.ni, launched March 2026), no physical passport stamp (applicant downloads/prints the visa), and no consular-office visit required — this replaces the prior embassy/paper-based consultation process described in the existing DB record. The 90-day $10 Tourist Card does NOT apply to Bangladesh (Category A/visa-exempt nationals only). Exact current fee for the digitized Consulted Visa was not published in the sources found this session (DB's prior USD 25-65 range could not be freshly reconfirmed and may be outdated given the process change).

Visa types: Consulted Visa (Category C) — now processed entirely online via tramitesconsulares.mint.gob.ni since Feb/Mar 2026 (no embassy visit, no physical stamp; applies to Bangladesh). Tourist Card (USD 10, on arrival) is for visa-exempt Category A nationals only, not applicable to Bangladesh. CA-4 Agreement: visa/permit honored across Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador too (combined stay pool).
