Anyone know the processing time for residency documents sent to the Nicaraguan embassy in Washington?

Age limitation

I am getting my paper work in order for my move to Nicaragua in 2008, and noticed the Pensionado option has an age requirement of 45. I wil have just turned 41. Is my age going to be a sticking point or is it not looked at closely?

Why go through the Washington embassy?

I did all of my permanent residency paperwork and ultimate approval through the immigration offices in Managua. It took about a month of running around between the US Embassy as well as the Nicaraguan Police and Interpol offices. Plus you have to have a health certificate from the Nicaraguan Health Department. They, at that time but maybe it's changed, would not accept anything else from a doctor or health agency outside of Nicaragua.

It was a long process with a constant "extra" needed to get final approval.

I would think dealing with the embassy in Washington D.C. would add needless time and frustration instead of dealing directly, in person, with the bureaucrats in Managua.

Just my thoughts.

Hello Chele John You must have been in country for a while in order to do that.

The reason for going thru the Embassy in your respective countries is to make things easier.

You go there, you fill out the whole paperwork and get all your police and health reports done and submit them, in about a month, you arrive here, if you planned it right and they will call you just to pick up the resident card. NO RUNNING AROUND, I think that is a lot easier, my opinion.

We actually got some great help from the Chancelors office for a friend of mine in Managua that was STUCK with a problem and they, surprisingly, were very helpful.

I did want to add, my comments were about getting my permanent residency card. Not the "simple" residency card. The permanent card is good for five years. The "simple" (my term) is good for only a single year.

WE NEVER APPLY FOR THAT ONE?
