About the Nicaragua passport
At #38 globally out of 200 ranked passports, the Nicaragua passport puts holders ahead of 81% of the world. Like many countries, Nicaragua extends citizenship to children of its nationals born abroad, making the passport potentially available to subsequent generations through descent.
Passport context
Nicaragua applies a top marginal income tax rate of 30% and a capital gains tax rate of 15%. The country operates a territorial tax regime, taxing only income sourced within Nicaragua, with foreign-sourced income generally exempt. Expats who establish tax residency in Nicaragua and earn the bulk of their income abroad may significantly reduce their overall tax burden under this structure.
