Medical Information for Nicaraguans

France is a safe country with an excellent healthcare system. However, medical treatments can be very expensive for foreigners. All travelers to France are, therefore, encouraged to purchase medical/travel insurance prior to their trip. The insurance should cover any medical emergencies, injuries, and hospitalization, in addition to the costs of evacuation or repatriation. Visitors without insurance will have to pay for any medical treatments upfront, otherwise, they may be refused medical care. No prepayment is needed in case of a life-threatening emergency.
Furthermore, anyone traveling with prescription medications needs to verify that they are legal in France and make sure to keep the prescription along with the medicines in their original packaging.
ETIAS Application for France
Travelers who wish to apply for an ETIAS France for Nicaraguans have to meet the following requirements:
- The purpose of their trip must be either tourism, leisure, family visit, medical treatment, or business conferences and meetings
- Their stay must not exceed 90 days within any period of 180 days
Note that for longer stays and travels with other purposes such as working, studying or living in France, several types of visas are available.
Nicaraguan passport holders will be able to apply for an ETIAS authorization through the main page of the ETIAS France website. The application form is easy to fill in and it will take only 10-15 minutes to complete. Each applicant, including minors, needs to submit a separate application form.
The application consists of a few simple steps:
- Duly fill in the application form, making sure that all the provided details are correct
- Pay the visa waiver fee through a secure online system
- Submit the form
- Receive the ETIAS France approval by email
The application fee will be very affordable. This fee is used to cover the costs of implementation, digitalization, and maintenance of the ETIAS system. Applicants will need to pay for the fee only once, even if they are visiting more than one Schengen member country during their trip.
In most cases, the visa waiver approval will be received within a few hours after submitting the form. In some cases, it may take up to 72 hours to get the ETIAS approval. However, if the information provided in the application form is incorrect or contains mistakes, for example, the name does not correspond exactly to that in the passport, the approval process may be delayed. Candidates will be kept informed about the status of the application and instructed on how to proceed if their demand is refused.
The ETIAS for France needs to be printed out so that it can be presented at the French border along with the passport. It is important to keep in mind that the right to enter the country is granted by the immigration officer at the port of entry in France.
