Embassy of Nicaragua in Hanoi: Contact and Services 2026

The Embassy of Nicaragua in Hanoi is one of Vietnam’s newest diplomatic missions: Ambassador Mario José Armengol Campos presented copies of his credentials on 17 June 2024. So far its address, phone number, email and opening hours have not been published in any public source we could check, and it has no Google Maps listing – so contact it before you go. The embassy is the point of contact for Nicaraguan citizens in Vietnam for documents, passports and consular protection. Info Travel supports Nicaraguans in Vietnam with visas, temporary residence cards, apostilles and notarised translations – WhatsApp +84327828822.

Consular services for Nicaraguan citizens

The embassy has not published its list of consular services in Hanoi. A Nicaraguan embassy typically handles:

consular protection after accidents, illness, arrest or loss of documents;
emergency travel documents to return home when a passport is lost;
certifying signatures and powers of attorney for use in Nicaragua;
receiving civil-registry filings (births, marriages) for citizens abroad.

This list is indicative only; what is actually available in Hanoi must be confirmed with the embassy.

Before you visit

Confirm the address: as the mission is new and not on the map, do not rely on word of mouth – get the exact address through an official channel.
Appointments: small missions usually receive visitors by appointment; prepare your request in Spanish or English.
What to bring: passport (or cédula/copy and a loss report), your Vietnamese visa or residence card, photos and copies of related documents.
Closures: Vietnamese and Nicaraguan holidays (for example Independence Day on 15 September and Holy Week).

What foreigners commonly need help with

Lost passport. Report it to the local police and get a confirmation; contact the embassy for a travel document or instructions for a new passport. Your Vietnamese visa is lost with the passport, so you then need a new visa or exit procedures with Vietnam Immigration.

Passport expiring. Ask the embassy how to obtain a new one; once you have it, transfer your visa or temporary residence card. If your stay is running out, a visa extension can help.

Study, work, marriage. Nicaraguan students and workers need degrees, police certificates and birth certificates with an apostille and a notarised translation from Spanish into Vietnamese.

Powers of attorney. Documents for use in Nicaragua are often signed before a consular officer.

Entering Vietnam. Nicaraguans can use the Vietnam e-visa for short trips.

Nicaraguan passport help in Vietnam

We could not verify whether the Nicaraguan Embassy in Hanoi accepts passport applications or renewals locally. Newly opened missions often issue only emergency travel documents, while ordinary passports are handled at home or by another mission in the region. Ask the embassy before making plans.

Where passports are issued, applicants normally attend in person for photos and fingerprints. Info Travel assists within what the embassy permits: checking requirements, photos, translating Vietnamese documents into Spanish or English, and directions. On the Vietnamese side we handle stay extensions while you wait, transferring your visa/TRC to the new passport, and exit procedures if you return home on a travel document.

Consular legalisation, apostille, MOFA/DFA stamps and notarised translation

Nicaragua has been a party to the Apostille Convention since 2013 and did not object to Vietnam’s accession, which took effect on 11 September 2026 (accession deposited 31 December 2025). Between the two countries the apostille is therefore the main route, usually without any embassy visit. Background: apostille vs consular legalisation.

a) Nicaraguan documents for use in Vietnam: get an apostille from Nicaragua’s competent authority, then a notarised Spanish–Vietnamese translation. Fallback: authentication in Nicaragua plus legalisation by the Vietnamese mission accredited to Nicaragua, or certification by the Nicaraguan embassy in Hanoi (if offered) followed by legalisation at the Consular Department or the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Foreign Affairs – unless exempted under an international treaty.

b) Vietnamese documents for use in Nicaragua: apostille at the Consular Department (MOFA, Hanoi) or the HCMC Department of Foreign Affairs, plus a Spanish translation. Consular certification and embassy legalisation are only needed if Nicaragua specifically asks.

Info Travel handles the whole chain: Spanish–Vietnamese translation, notarisation, apostille/MOFA stamp, submission and collection. See consular legalisation in Vietnam; quotes on WhatsApp +84327828822.
