Re: Drone regulations around the world for travellers
@ddoctorisin Since we are talking about people that like to travel and might want to publish their videos on Youtube (monetizing or not) and also in Google Maps, we need to understand if it is recreational or commercial. Might be not a trivial question.
Re: Drone regulations around the world for travellers
Since I could not see a problem sharing a link in here, I created a few months ago a facebook group to share organized information about several countries and airlines regarding drone flight and transportation within the luggage.
Facebook is also a place that is dominated with people all over the world that could help, but when I try to tell about the group I created in other groups I get a warning from those admins, because telling about different groups in their groups seems to hurt their monopoly regardless of the benefit other users might have with organized information.
So, for those who want to want to search for information or want to share information, please feel free to join:

As you can see,if you are flying nano-drones (<250 gm) for recreational purposes only, you don’t need any permission, however, if your drone is classified under Mini and above categories (>2Kg), you will need several permissions including permissions from police, flight path authorization, and more. Apart from these permissions,a user also needs to keep in mind that certain sensitive areas are restricted, and drones are not allowed in such areas. Some of the restricted areas include places falling under 50 Km from International borders, beyond 500m from sea coast, within 5 Km from Vijay Chowk, India Gate, national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and more.
Re: Drone regulations around the world for travellers
Great topic! In Nicaragua, drones are illegal for the huge majority of cases.
You'd still find some drone shots of course though but those footage are mostly done away from prying eyes or are sanctioned by the government.
Customs will take away your drone at the airport or other point of entry and will make you pay a hefty fine daily for safekeeping it, until you're able to claim it as you exit the country.
There aren't any official guidelines yet on how to apply for a permit to fly it lawfully but the government is saying that that is in the works.
