You need a B-1/B-2 visitor visa
Nicaragua passport holders need a US B-1/B-2 visitor visa — complete the DS-160 online, pay the fee, and attend an interview at the US embassy or consulate where you live.
The bottom line
- Complete Form DS-160 online and print the confirmation page for your interview.
- Pay the $185 application fee; a visa issuance fee may also apply depending on your nationality.
- Interview wait times vary by post and season — apply early. A visa permits travel to a port of entry, not guaranteed admission.
Where you'll apply
Apply at the US Embassy or Consulate with jurisdiction over where you live; interviews are generally required.
