Juan Emilio Rivas
Juan Emilio Rivas is the General Commissioner and Director of the General Directorate of Migration and Foreigners in Nicaragua. He recently made headlines for implementing a new immigration policy that requires Cuban citizens to obtain a visa for entry into Nicaragua, shifting their status from visa-exempt to requiring a 'consulted visa without cost'. This change reflects Nicaragua's evolving immigration regulations and its sovereignty in determining visa categories for foreign nationals.
