Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your departure date from Honduras | Your passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Immigration at Toncontín Airport checks validity carefully — if your passport expires within 3 months of leaving, they may deny boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Honduras | Airlines check this at check-in — they won't let you board without a return or onward flight within 90 days. Immigration officers at San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa also ask for it routinely. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration may ask where you're staying — have a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from a host with their address and phone number. Booking for the first few nights is enough. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Officers sometimes ask for bank statements or cash — around $500 USD for a short trip is a safe benchmark. Credit cards with a visible limit also work. | Recommended |
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Honduras. If it's close to expiring, renew it before you go — you will be turned away at the border.
No visa, but be prepared
Visa-free entry is straightforward, but immigration can ask for a return ticket and proof of accommodation. Have both ready on your phone or printed.
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 and return ticket ready.
2
Present documents to officer
Hand over your passport and any requested documents (return ticket, accommodation proof). The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in.
3
Receive entry stamp
You'll get an entry stamp valid for up to 90 days. Check the date written — it's your allowed stay. Keep the stamp safe for departure.
