Must be valid for the duration of your stay

Return or onward ticket
Proof of departure from Honduras
Immigration officers at Toncontín Airport and land borders routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot ready on your phone. A bus ticket to Nicaragua or Guatemala also counts.Recommended
Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or host invitation
Officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a return ticket. A hotel confirmation email or a letter from a host with their address and phone number works. Have it accessible offline.Recommended
Proof of funds
Show you can support yourself
Honduras does not publish a fixed minimum, but carrying $500–$1,000 USD in cash or a credit card statement removes any doubt. ATMs are widely available in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula.Recommended
No visa needed, but be prepared
Visa-free entry is straightforward, but immigration may still ask for proof of onward travel and accommodation. Keep digital copies handy on your phone.
Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. Airlines check this before boarding, so double-check before you fly.
