Migration note

Crossing into Nicaragua

We file the mandatory migration pre-check for the whole group. Nicaragua keeps the right to accept or refuse any visitor, and we cannot intervene in that decision. Because we file early, we have the official answer 7 days before travel in case anyone is refused entry.
