At least six Nicaraguans who had been barred by the regime from returning to the country after traveling abroad have received emails from the Interior Ministry (MINT) informing them that their entry into Nicaragua \u201cis authorized,\u201d CONFIDENCIAL<\/strong> has confirmed. <\/p>\n\n

“We kindly inform you that entry to our country is authorized. Please acknowledge receipt,” the MINT wrote in the emails, on which it signs “Ministerio del Interior Rep\u00fablica de Nicaragua”.<\/p>\n\n

Some of the citizens\u2014who had been de-facto exiled\u2014also received a form that the government requires foreigners to complete when entering or leaving Nicaragua. The form asks for personal information, nationality, travel details, and whether the traveler was invited by the government, a company, an embassy, or a personal contact.<\/p>\n\n

The newspaper La Prensa<\/em> also reported on the Interior Ministry\u2019s notifications. According to its reporting, some notices have been delivered via phone calls or WhatsApp messages. However, CONFIDENCIAL<\/strong> has only confirmed notifications sent by email. <\/p>\n\n

Selective Authorizations or a Reversal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

With this decision, the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo would be rolling back its selective ban on Nicaraguans entering their own country\u2014a policy it has enforced more regularly since mid-2023 and intensified in 2025.<\/p>\n\n

However, authorities have made no public announcement, and it remains unclear whether the restoration of the right to reenter the country is universal or will continue to be applied selectively.<\/p>\n\n

CONFIDENCIAL <\/strong>consulted several people who have been banned by the dictatorship from returning, who said they had not been notified of any change in their situation.<\/p>\n\n

In November 2025<\/a>, the head of MINT, Mar\u00eda Amelia Coronel, justified the entry bans by saying:<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe do this primarily because we have the legal authority to do so and, above all, to protect national sovereignty and public safety, which are of utmost importance to the Interior Ministry and to all of Nicaragua.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

More than 300 Nicaraguans banned from Nicaragua <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The Group of Human Rights Experts on Nicaragua (GHREN) reported in February 2025 that the regime had denied entry to approximately 318 Nicaraguans between June 2018 and August 2025.<\/p>\n\n

Those effectively exiled include journalists, human rights defenders, activists, relatives of opposition figures, and released political prisoners, among others.<\/p>\n\n

Several Nicaraguan and foreign YouTubers<\/em> have also publicly denounced being denied entry into the country. <\/p>\n\n

Entry bans increased following the mass expulsion of 222 released political prisoners to the United States in February 2023 and, according to GHREN, are part of a \u201cbroader pattern of serious and systematic violations of the right to freedom of movement and to freely choose one\u2019s residence.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe are fighting organized crime, terrorism, and any actions by anyone that threaten the peace and security that have cost us so much,\u201d the Interior Minister said in an interview with the pro-government channel TN8. <\/p>\n\n

How Entry Bans to Nicaragua Work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

GHREN detailed that the exile machinery begins when airlines or bus companies send passenger lists to the General Directorate of Migration and Immigration, identifying those intending to enter Nicaragua.<\/p>\n\n

Migration authorities use these lists to cross-check names against another list they periodically receive from the Interior Ministry. These lists flag individuals under \u201calert,\u201d indicating who should be barred from leaving, entering, or reentering Nicaragua. <\/p>\n\n

At Migration, officials further supplement this information by searching for data about the flagged individuals online and on social media. Through this review, any piece of information, social media post, or connection deemed \u201csuspicious\u201d can be enough to compile a file on a person attempting to travel and label them unfit to leave or enter the country. <\/p>\n\n

Finally, citizens receive an email from the airline or transport company\u2014usually 24 hours before their return trip to Nicaragua\u2014informing them that entry has been denied. Some individuals attempting to leave the country have also had their passports confiscated. <\/p>\n\n

Political Operatives Decide Who Gets In<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

GHREN revealed that there is a chain of command<\/a> behind decisions to deny entry, led by the Deputy Directorate of Police Intelligence and Investigation, the Army\u2019s Directorate of Information for Defense, and operatives from the Sandinista Front. <\/p>\n\n

These officials and operatives investigate individuals and send their findings to the Interior Ministry, which ultimately authorizes or denies entry into the country.<\/p>\n\n

This is followed by a written or verbal notification from the Interior Ministry to transport companies or border posts in Nicaragua enforcing the entry ban.<\/p>\n\n

Cases of de facto exile are also underreported, as many individuals choose not to file complaints for fear of reprisals.<\/p>\n\n

The group warns that \u201cthe lack of official documentation prevents individuals from pursuing regularization or resettlement processes in other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Shifts Following Tensions with the United States <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

In recent months, the Ortega regime has eased some of its repressive stance following actions taken by the U.S. government against its allies in Venezuela and Cuba. <\/p>\n\n

It began with the release of some political prisoners <\/a>after the capture of Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, and the rejection of accusations of drug seizures<\/a> from Nicaragua. Even the propaganda media have begun to interview alleged drug traffickers detained after trying to pass through national territory. <\/p>\n\n

The regime also allowed some Catholic churches to hold their usual Holy Week activities and sent its propaganda outlets to cover them, in an apparent attempt to refute claims of religious persecution\u2014while restrictions and police surveillance remain in place across most parishes.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe call on those who have spread falsehoods about our religious life to retract what is clearly nothing more than a politically motivated disinformation campaign that fuels hatred and has nothing to do with religion or faith,\u201d the \u201cCo-Presidency\u201d said in a statement, accusing critics of being \u201cspokespeople for the U.S. government.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

Since 2019, after imprisoning dozens of priests, more than 200 religious figures\u2014including four bishops from the Episcopal Conference\u2014have been forced into exile and remain abroad. Meanwhile, the regime has illegally confiscated 39 properties belonging to the Catholic Church and religious orders, according to a CONFIDENCIAL investigation published in late 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
