Why I Would Take a Nicaraguan Passport

nomadcapitalist.com/second-pa...
I recently said I would gladly become a Nicaraguan citizen if given the chance, prompting many - including a few Nicaraguans - to ask "why?" The answer is because I value citizenship differently than the average person.

I still don't know what else country could allow me to that the Italian doesn't have but it works fine. I have ESTA and stamped Visa on my passport. The advantage of stamped USA Visa vs ESTA, is that when travelling private you can't enter the USA with ESTA, but you do have to have stamped Visa to enter the US on a private plane.

I'm a native Nicaraguan, lived in the US for 25 years. In the process of saving up to go retire in Nicaragua, open an office so we can help other citizens to go retire there (I think is important to have a friendly contact there so you will not become victim of scammers). I recently bought a 2 acres farm for my mom (so she can go retire there soon) 30 min from Managua in a cool weather area close to a forest for $20000. In the farm she can raise chickens and pork, and work the land (corn, pineapple, beans, vegetables, plantains,ect) so she can rest and live her last years worry free and healthy food.

Nicaragua was doing great until 2018. Then political destabilization and US sanctions came in. Just because Nicaragua remained an independent country and had close ties with the Venezuelan government, although that was not the true reason. It's mostly because Nicaragua was in talks with China to build another canal in Central America.

[@ELo-wi7vv]

It still doing OK. It's a little less safe than it used to be, but a lot of people have their own businesses, new houses and neighborhoods are being built, with money you can buy everything in the markets (meaning there are no shortages or goods or services like there was in the 80's), and they are always building new roads or improving old ones.

[@GaroSlayer]

As someone from Nicaragua I have to say you are wrong. Nicaragua was a ticking bomb waiting to explode, when you have citizens that want freedom slowly see their freedoms cut one by one, and corruption run rampant that is what happens. US sanctions are mostly individual sanctions to politicians. The canal was never gonna happen, besides Nicaragua is very comfortably maintaining diplomatic relationship with Taiwan (the country in which I am currently living), so I don't think the US was worried about us getting close to China.

[@GaroSlayer]

@@ELo-wi7vv The country is running on fumes, right now the disaster relief funds procured from international organizations will make it seem that things are okay, but the economy is badly hurt. The economy requires confidence to return and that depends highly on this year's elections. Perceptions are not the same as reality, especially if you consider that the Nicaraguan government doesn't disclose any economic data.

[@forests.9597]

@@ELo-wi7vv 1. A little less safe is an understatement. 2. Entrepenours are barely surviving, having a small business in Nicaragua doesn't mean having an ounce of economic stability. 3. It's true, for a foreigner, for the average Nicaraguan that doesn't mean anything, because they barely have money to survive. 4. Cheap and poorly made roads that will get damaged after a month after being built or fixed. Managua is definitely not the thriving metropolis you think it is.

You can do 99% research yourself. Most of the information is available. There are Expat groups everywhere that can help steer you the right directions, however, beware of expats who constantly want to charge you money for info. Start by figuring what type of climate you prefer, what type of lifestyle you need to maintain. Also, what types of western living standards are most important to you. Then start looking for western medical clinics that cater to English speaking people. Also, believe it or not your RN license is not valid in many other countries. Most of the English clinics just pay more to have a local RN and Dr. who speak English. You typically will not earn any where near the $ in other countries as you can the US. But the cost of living can be much lower.

[@RebeccaOre]

You have to live as a resident for five years before getting citizenship, and you're technically supposed to renounce your previous citizenships, but the US doesn't tend to look at the claim that you have so renounced. Five years residencies are varied. The expat population here tends to ignore Nicaraguan legal requirements, like informing the police and Migracion within 72 hours of moving. The renewals are now fifty dollars every six months, mandatory trip to Managua because many of us weren't where we said we were when we got residency or renewed. $500 for five years residency. $500 for citizenship which requires fluency in Spanish and passing a test in Nicaraguan history unless you're over 65 (more or less, check with Migracion and rules change here. Minimum for a business residency is an investment of $30K. I've been here for ten years. The FSLN kept the safety net features of their earlier system, but do not inhibit capitalism. Tourism is what the rich want to promote to avoid really investing in technical education for the population. I've met at least one person who preferred cutting coffee to working in tourism. Nicaraguans I know go to the EU or Canada if they can.

[@RebeccaOre]

2018. Nicaraguans who were polled in 2018 were around 75% opposed to Ortega. Same polling company now finds around 65% of the population will vote for Ortega in 2011. People who got involved in the attempt to force him out of office and ban his whole family from running for office in the future are now banned from running for office themselves. The myth of police shooting peaceful unarmed protestors was pretty much just one of the lies being spread at that time. The reality is that if you are a foreign resident here, you are forbidden to get involved in Nicaraguan politics, and can be deported if you do. The government let some of its most vocal critics back in the country, and has handled the Corona Virus pandemic better than some of the other surrounding countries. Stay out of places heavily dependent on tourism (Granada, San Juan del Sur) and the economic situation isn't quite as dire. The mountain town of 50,000 I've been living in for the last ten years has just got a new supermarket and a specialty meat shop. It makes its living on coffee, cattle, and being the services city for the department (state, but more like a US county). Tourism is still in the toilet, but Costa Rica is allowing people in without testing, so they're still having higher case rates per capita than here. Anyone thinking about buying here should rent for a year to see if this country will work for them. You really need to know at least some Spanish to get around here, too.

[@ELo-wi7vv]

How long can I live in Nicaragua as a tourist?

[@user-mw6re2wu8n]

6 months. 90 day visa that can be extended for another 90 days. Then you only have to leave for a hour

[@robertonoguera7076]

starting next year Nicaraguan travelers will be required a visa to enter the Schengen zone...

An interesting country with beautiful landscape but definitely a country on the "fringes" you may say which I would like to visit someday but not too familiar with their citizenship rights.

Plenty of vacation rentals all over the country. I'd retire there in a heartbeat.

Huge issue with Nicaragua is the amount of corruption within its government. If they know, which they usually do, who's got money, they will point a finger and place a mark on you. You see, I read about countries such as El Salvador, and its neighbor countries to the north, including Mexico. These places are a bit of an open book when it comes to its own sociopolitical, gang violence and economic issues, their pro and cons, one might say. Nicaragua? I don't think so. I'll give you an example, during this pandemic, this government has done something horrific, despicable to his own people, they've kept their peeps on a total darkness about the horrific lethality of said virus. As a direct result of such gross negligence, innocent people have lost their lives. No airline would dare step foot into such country. It's own government did this. When you start saying things about water front real estate, think about the amount of resentment there is. From that bank teller watching you every steps when you to use their bank. Nicaragua has all of these countries I've mentioned, all of those issues plus a violent genocidal mindset towards themselves, their own innocent people. It's so unsafe and calculated. The Russians with their KGB mindset are all over the place. Don't know about this Nicaraguan deal bro

[@eddies8174]

Andrew i love your channel but how about giving the best rate for Serbia, Nicaragua and many others which are cheaper then the 100 thousand Domanica, St Kitts n Nevis passport. We middle easterns are looking for something cheap which creates ease in travel to Asia, Eastern Europe, Europe, not just Schengen countries. I hope you understand what im trying to say here.

[@jsirkerp]

Most of the people that comment apparently are not aware of the current socio-political and economic situation of the country. The argument for a nicaraguan passport/citizenship could have been made before April 2018. That is my humble opinion of course...

[@alexandradvega2000]

Not if you are a foreigner . If you have the dollars 💵 and stay away from politics you could live like a rich man there . Safe , free, cheap .

alexandra de vega you are right regarding the cheap part. As for the safe aspect, it is deteriorating, unfortunately, crime and theft are on the rise. Of course each person has his/her tolerance range regarding safety...

[@jorgemendoza9026]

Jinnah Sirker you are right about the country going trough a bad time relatively speaking but Jinnah I can tell you for sure I tell my kids and my wife as well as my friends to be careful when they venture outside on the streets here in the US, there is so much violence and crazy stuff happening now days. And I can tell you I am not an easy to scare person as I endured the Nicaraguan civil war where tanks and M50s were roaming the streets back then. Anyway I’ll check it for myself (Nicaragua) as I have a fun trip soon. You may be more right than I currently think 🤔. We’ll see........

[@davidchislaru6585]

Cheaper USD means easier adoption by third world countries or emerging markets. It eases business relationships and accelerates globalization. This drop in value is a result of the stimulative policies. The only one's to be concerned of this is maybe China due to their huge USD reserves accumulated prior to 2008 due to their importation deficit.

Medical care??

[@RebeccaOre]

The public clinics are free even to tourists, but the care is around 1950s US, with some exceptions. INSS hospitals (state insurance program which is hard for foreigners to enroll in) are a cut above the free public clinics. Most foreigners go to the private hospitals and clinics, which are cheaper than in the US. Very good with public health programs -- vaccinations, mosquito control, baby checkups. Most meds are over the counter except opiates and in some pharmacies, psycho-active meds. A friend is on a very expensive anti-cancer med, and I suspect that would not be available in Nicaragua, and I met someone who couldn't get one lupus control medicine here.

@@bodyloverz30, I wouldn't, and I've never needed to pay off anyone to just live here and import stuff from the US. People who drive cars have to deal with the traffic cops, but my impression is the horrors of that are exaggerated, generally by people who speed. I've been in a car where the driver was an American with dual citizenship. He was stopped but didn't have to pay anything for crossing a yellow line. The Sandinistas aren't all one thing, either. People have had to join the FSLN for jobs, and Nicaraguans don't tend to be that easy to push around. The big thing to watch out for is people telling you what they think you want to hear -- keeping people happy is more important than saying something that might make them unhappy.
