Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Honduras. Airlines check this at check-in. If your passport expires within 6 months, you may still enter as long as it covers your stay, but some airlines enforce the 6-month rule — check with your carrier. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Honduras | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket within 90 days. Have a printed or digital copy ready. If you're continuing to another country, a bus or flight ticket out of Honduras works. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers sometimes ask where you're staying. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. A booking on your phone is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry at least $500 USD in cash or have a credit/debit card with a bank statement showing available funds. Immigration rarely checks this for short stays, but it's better to have proof. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Honduran immigration counts 6 months from your entry date, not your departure. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied entry. No exceptions.
No visa, but have proof ready
While you don't need a visa, immigration officers may ask for your return ticket and accommodation. Keep digital copies on your phone.
