Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería (Nicaragua)

Applies the rule

The agency that applies Nicaragua's migration law, publishing its requirement pages and its price list in córdobas - which matters more here than elsewhere, because the law's own fee schedules are published as images.

The body that applies the rule and decides applications. It publishes what it requires, which is authoritative about its own practice but is not the text of the law.

Cannot be cited for

It must not be cited for what the law says, and on this country the gap is unusually wide. Its visa page states there are two visa categories where the law establishes three, and its own extension page on the same site still sets out all three. It adds the words in exceptional cases to a concession the regulation grants unconditionally. It asks for documents that appear in no instrument. Its reduced-fee line breaks off mid-sentence citing numerals that do not exist. Cite it for what the counter charges and asks, never for the rule, and never as evidence that a category has been abolished.
