El alto costo de nacionalizarse en el extranjero: Nicaragua elimina la doble nacionalidad en 2026
La reforma constitucional que elimina la doble nacionalidad abre la puerta a una “muerte civil” en Nicaragua, con consecuencias que van desde la pérdida de documentos hasta riesgos sobre propiedades.
TL;DR
- Nicaraguan citizens acquiring foreign nationality from this year will automatically lose their Nicaraguan nationality.
- The reform impacts property rights, making it difficult to sell or inherit assets, and may subject them to higher taxes.
- Loss of nationality leads to the annulment of Nicaraguan documents like passports and identity cards.
- Affected individuals may face difficulties obtaining apostilled documents for use abroad.
- Entry into Nicaragua will be as a foreigner, subject to visa restrictions and the discretion of immigration authorities.
- Civil and political rights, including the right to vote and participate in public affairs, are lost.
- Access to accumulated social security benefits may be lost.
- Human rights organizations believe the reform aims to weaken the influence of the Nicaraguan diaspora.
