Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Honduras. Airlines check this at check-in, and immigration officers in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula enforce it strictly. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Honduras | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A hotel confirmation or a letter from a host covers this. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Immigration can ask for evidence of sufficient funds. Carry a bank statement or credit card showing at least $500 USD available for your trip. | Recommended |
Keep your return ticket handy
Immigration officers often ask for proof of onward travel. A screenshot on your phone is sufficient, but having it ready speeds things up.
Passport validity is strict
The 6-month validity rule is enforced at immigration. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before your trip — no exceptions.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at immigration counter
At any Honduran airport (like 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 and receive stamp
Hand over your passport. The officer will check validity, stamp it, and may ask your purpose of visit. Answer briefly (e.g., 'tourism'). You'll get a 90-day entry stamp.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. No arrival declaration form is required for Mexican citizens.
