Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Polish passport needs to be valid for the entire time you're in Honduras. Immigration officers at Toncontín Airport and land borders check this closely. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Honduras | Immigration at San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa airports routinely asks for a return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. Airlines also check this at check-in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Border officers sometimes ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A printed hotel confirmation or a letter from a host with their address and phone number covers this. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Immigration may ask to see bank statements or cash to confirm you have enough for your stay. Having around $500 USD or a credit card with a decent limit usually satisfies them. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Honduran immigration requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. Airlines check this before boarding. If your passport expires sooner, you will not be allowed to fly.
No visa, but don't skip the return ticket
While there's no visa requirement, immigration officers frequently ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready. A bus ticket to Nicaragua counts.
