I have heard from at least one usually reliable person that there is a law on the books which is not currently enforced that restricts tourists to a total of 180 days per year in Nicaragua.
I've asked three different migracion officials about it and all say they have never heard about it, and of course we all know lots of people who habitually stay in Nicaragua on tourism visas for longer than 180 days per year without being hassled. But these facts by themselves do not mean the law is not on the books.
I do know that a tourist can stay in Nicaragua for a 180-day period by obtaining a 90-day visa and renewing it for another 90-day period, at which point the law says he or she must leave the country for 72 hours before re-entering. Could it be that the person who told me about the 180-day-per-year rule is mixing it up with the 90+90=180 days rule?
Does anyone here have any factual data they can share rather than hearsay or rumours?
