6 months in 6 months Out??

10 years ago
Hi all,
I'm coming to Nicaragua on the 12th of this month (Sep). The plan is to stay for 6 mths and then go back home for 2 mths to arrange for the documents needed to apply for residence as a pensionista.

Now I've read that, having stayed in Nica for 6 months, you then have to be Out of the country for the following 6 months.

However I've also read about perpetual tourists doing the 72 hrs visa run to CR and then getting a new 90 days tourist visa when re-entering Nica.

Can anyone please give me conclusive evidence, either that I HAVE to be out of the country for 6 mths, OR that I can return sooner?
