Nicaragua citizens can enter Spain without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid Nicaragua passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 90-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.
Whatever your visa status, Spain applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Spain lets 93 passports in without a visa and requires an embassy visa from 105. Nicaragua citizens are treated the same way as Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Bahamas, Barbados and Brazil. Overall the Nicaragua passport ranks #90 in the world with 73 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Europe? With a Nicaragua passport you can also visit 41 countries in the region without a visa, including Andorra, Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium, Bulgaria, Belarus and Switzerland.
In the other direction, Spain citizens can visit Nicaragua visa-free.

Accommodation providers collect their guests' data. Every guest over 14 signs the entry form (parte de entrada). The provider sends the data to the competent authorities immediately, and in any case within 24 hours of the booking and of the start of the service. The data are kept in files of the Secretary of State for Security and may be processed only by the security forces. Missing records or communications are serious infringements by the provider (fine EUR 601 to 30,000 under LO 4/2015); late communication is a minor one (EUR 100 to 600).

Instead of the fine, expulsion may be applied, on the principle of proportionality, after an administrative procedure. Expulsion and a fine are never imposed together. Expulsion carries an entry ban, set case by case, of at most five years, and exceptionally up to ten years for a serious threat to public order, public security, national security or public health.
