Russia and Nicaragua Start Visa-Free Travel


05.07.2010

A 2009 agreement between Russia and Nicaragua on visa-free tourist travel came into effect on Saturday, July 3, RIA Novosti reports. The agreement between the two governments was signed on July 28, 2009.

Under the agreement, Russian and Nicaraguan tourists are not required visas for entry, exit, transit or stay on the territory of another state for up to 90 days within each 180-day period from the first entry. However, those who travel to Russia and vice-versa to start a business, to seek an employment, or to stay for more than 90 days, will still be required to obtain a visa.

Nicaragua is the tenth state in Latin America to end visa requirements for Russian citizens, following Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, Peru, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Guatemala and Brazil.
