What first-timers get wrong
Most nationalities now need a Category C visa
Apply online 7 days before arrival โ the form crashes, plan ahead.
Worn USD bills are refused everywhere
Any tear, fold, or mark = rejected by banks, shops, and ATMs. Bring crisp 20s and 50s.
Mosquitoes are serious โ DEET is hard to find outside cities
Bring 30โ50% DEET from home. Ometepe and the islands are the worst spots.
Passport must be valid 6 months past your return date
Not 6 months from when you arrive โ 6 months beyond your entire stay.
