Oct 2, 2026Nicaragua— Nicaragua safety summary changed: from Violent crime against tourists is uncommon by regional standards, but the political situation since 2018 has made Nicaragua unpredictable: protests are banned, police may stop and question foreigners, and travelers have been denied entry or expelled over social-media posts or NGO links. Several governments advise reconsidering non-essential travel. to Political activity is the main risk for visitors: it is illegal for foreigners to take part in any political activity, and joining a protest, attending political meetings or campaigns, or using the national blue-and-white colours in a campaign can lead to arrest, detention or deportation. Violent crime does affect foreign nationals, including attacks on people in vehicles and 'express kidnapping' in unauthorised taxis, so use radio-dispatched or red-plate authorised taxis and avoid markets and bus stations on foot after dark.
