Nicaragua closed its visa-free route for Cubans on Feb. 8, 2026, blocking a key migration path to the U.S.
Nicaragua has ended visa-free entry for Cuban citizens, effective February 8, 2026, closing a major migration route to the United States.
The move, confirmed by Nicaraguan authorities, halts a long-standing exemption that allowed Cubans to transit through Nicaragua to reach the U.S. border via Central America and Mexico.
The change comes amid intensified U.S. pressure on Nicaragua to align with regional migration policies, including sanctions on Cuba and demands for political prisoner releases.
With this route now blocked, Cuban migrants are increasingly forced to use riskier alternatives like the Darien Gap or sea crossings to Florida.
