Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Danish passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Honduras. Immigration officers at Toncontín Airport check this carefully. If your passport expires within 90 days of entry, you risk being denied boarding in Copenhagen or Amsterdam. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Honduras | Airlines check this before you board — they face fines if you arrive without one. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight, bus ticket to Nicaragua, or any onward itinerary. Immigration in San Pedro Sula also asks for it about half the time. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration officers sometimes ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive late or look tired. A hotel confirmation email or a letter from a friend in Honduras works. No need to book the whole stay — just the first few nights. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officers rarely ask, but having a bank statement or credit card with a few hundred dollars available avoids problems. The official minimum is around $500 USD for the trip, but nobody counts. A screenshot of your mobile banking app is fine. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity at check-in. If you have less than 6 months left, you may be denied boarding even if you're already at the airport.
Keep a copy of your documents
Save digital copies of your passport, return ticket, and accommodation booking on your phone or in the cloud. If you lose your passport, these make replacement much easier.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at immigration counter
At any Honduran airport (e.g., Toncontín in Tegucigalpa or Ramón Villeda Morales in San Pedro Sula), join the foreign passport queue. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation booking. Answer clearly and politely.
3
Get stamped in
The officer will stamp your passport with a 90-day entry. Check the stamp before walking away — confirm the number of days is correct.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually no customs declaration form unless you're carrying large amounts of cash or restricted goods.
