List of ambassadors of Nicaragua

This is a list of ambassadors of the Republic of Nicaragua to individual nations of the world, to international organizations, and to past nations, as well as ambassadors-at-large.

Ambassadors are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Nicaraguan National Assembly. An ambassador can be appointed during a recess, but can only serve until the end of the next session of the national assembly, unless subsequently confirmed. Ambassadors serve “at the pleasure of the President”, meaning they can be dismissed at any time.

An ambassador may be a career Foreign Service Officer or a political appointee. In most cases, career foreign service officers serve a tour of approximately three years per ambassadorship, whereas political appointees customarily tender their resignations upon the inauguration of a new president. As embassies fall under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nicaragua (Chancellery of Nicaragua) jurisdiction, ambassadors answer to the Foreign Ministers of Nicaragua to the President of Nicaragua.
