US Imposes Visa Restrictions on Nicaraguan Travel Facilitators Amid Illegal Immigration Concerns

Nov 18, 2025 07:53 am CST

The US State Department has implemented visa restrictions on Nicaraguan individuals who facilitate illegal immigration, targeting transportation companies, travel agencies, and tour operators. The measures include revoking existing visas and preventing entry to the United States, as the US government addresses what it describes as Nicaragua's "permissive-by-design migration policies" that destabilize the region. This action follows earlier restrictions imposed on over 250 Nicaraguan officials for human rights violations.
