NOTE: On 16 February 2026 Nicaragua unilaterally imposed mandatory entry visas (Category C) on Croatian nationals (and nationals of certain other EU states). The EU reciprocity mechanism under Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 has been invoked but as of June 2026 no EU Council decision to suspend Nicaragua's visa-free access to Schengen has been formally adopted. Nicaraguan ordinary passport holders remain technically visa-free for Schengen/Croatia pending a formal EU reciprocity suspension decision. Monitor official EU sources for updates.
