Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Bulgarian passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Honduras. Immigration officers rarely check for 6 months validity beyond departure, but your airline might — check with them before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Honduras | Immigration at Toncontín Airport and land borders routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight or bus ticket out of Honduras ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A hotel confirmation or a letter from a host with their address covers this. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Honduras doesn't publish a fixed minimum, but carrying around $500 USD in cash or having a bank statement showing accessible funds avoids delays. ATMs are available in major cities. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity at check-in. If it's less than 6 months from your entry date, you'll be denied boarding. Double-check before you leave.
Keep a copy of your documents
Take photos of your passport, return ticket, and accommodation booking. Store them in your phone and email a copy to yourself. If your phone is lost or stolen, you'll still have access.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Honduran immigration
At the airport (e.g., Toncontín in Tegucigalpa or Ramón Villeda Morales in San Pedro Sula), join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Have your passport, return ticket (printed or on phone), and accommodation booking ready.
2
Present documents and get stamped
Hand over your passport. The officer will check your passport validity, stamp it, and usually ask your purpose of visit. Answer 'tourism' or 'business'. You'll receive a 90-day entry stamp. No fee.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, collect your bags from the carousel. Customs is usually a green/red channel system. Declare anything over $500 or restricted items. Then you're free to go.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave before the 90 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban. If you need more time, you'd have to apply for a different visa type before your 90 days expire.
If you're transiting through a Honduran airport and staying airside (not passing immigration), you generally don't need a visa. But check with your airline — some require a visa even for transit. If you need to enter the country between flights, the visa-free rules apply.
You'll likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Honduran immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. No exceptions are made for this rule.
No, there is no separate tourist card or arrival fee for Bulgarian passport holders. The visa-free entry is free of charge. You just get a stamp in your passport.
No, the visa-free entry is strictly for tourism, business meetings, or short visits. For work or study, you need to apply for the appropriate visa at a Honduran embassy before traveling.
Have your passport, a printed or digital copy of your return ticket, and your first night's accommodation booking. Travel insurance is not mandatory but recommended. Keep everything in your hand luggage.
No mandatory vaccines are required for Bulgarian travelers. However, check routine vaccines (like MMR, tetanus) and consider hepatitis A and typhoid if you're visiting rural areas. Yellow fever vaccine is not required unless you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk.
