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. If your passport expires within 90 days, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Honduras | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the border. A flight booking out of Honduras within 90 days of arrival satisfies this. Bus tickets to neighboring countries also work. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a printed or digital hotel reservation ready. If staying with friends or family, a simple letter of invitation with their address and phone number is accepted. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officers may ask how you'll fund your trip. A credit card, bank statement, or cash equivalent to $500 USD is usually enough. They rarely count it, but having it visible helps. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Honduran immigration requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. If it's close, renew before you go — you'll be turned away at the border.
Keep a copy of your entry stamp
Take a photo of the entry stamp in your passport. If you lose your passport, this helps prove your legal stay and makes replacement easier.
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), follow signs to 'Migración' or 'Extranjería'. Join the queue for foreign visitors.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport, completed arrival card (usually given on the plane), and any requested proof of onward travel or accommodation. The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in.
3
Receive entry stamp
The officer stamps your passport with the date of entry and writes the number of days allowed (usually 90). Verify the stamp before leaving the counter.
4
Proceed to baggage claim and customs
After immigration, collect your luggage and go through customs. Green channel if nothing to declare, red channel if you have goods over the duty-free limit.
