Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Greek passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Honduras. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| 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 showing your flight out of Honduras within 90 days. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Immigration can ask for bank statements or cash to confirm you have enough money for your trip. A credit card and a recent bank statement showing a few hundred dollars usually satisfies them. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Honduran immigration counts the 6 months from your entry date, not your departure. If your passport expires sooner, you will be refused entry — no exceptions.
Keep a copy of your return ticket
Immigration officers often ask to see your onward ticket. A screenshot on your phone is fine, but a printed copy is even safer.
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 confirmation ready.
2
Present documents and get stamped
Hand over your passport. The officer will check your validity, ask your purpose of visit (tourism), and stamp you in. They may ask how long you're staying — answer honestly. The stamp shows your allowed stay (usually 90 days).
3
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. No arrival declaration form is required for Greek citizens.

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.
No, Greek citizens do not need a transit visa if you stay airside and your layover is less than 12 hours. If you need to leave the airport, you'll need to enter visa-free (same rules apply).
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Honduran immigration. Renew your passport before traveling.
No, there is no arrival fee for Greek citizens. Some departure taxes may be included in your airline ticket.
Technically, the visa-free entry is for tourism only. Remote work for a foreign employer is a gray area — many digital nomads do it, but it's not officially permitted. For long-term stays, consider a Digital Nomad Visa (if introduced).
You'll be fined approximately $50–$100 USD per month overstayed, and you may be banned from re-entering for up to 5 years. Always leave on time.
No mandatory vaccines for entry from Greece. However, yellow fever vaccine is required if you're arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever. Hepatitis A, typhoid, and routine vaccines are recommended.
