Present your documents
Hand over your passport and any supporting documents (return ticket, accommodation booking) if asked. The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave before the 90 days are up. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to apply for a different visa type before your current stay expires — but that's rare for tourists. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
No, Honduras does not require yellow fever vaccination for Russian passport holders. No health certificates are needed for entry.
You will be denied entry. The 6-month rule is strictly enforced. Renew your passport before traveling.
Yes, you can enter by land at any official border crossing. The same visa-free rules apply — just show your passport and get stamped. Keep your return ticket handy, as land crossings sometimes ask for it more often than airports.
No, there is no arrival declaration required. You just fill out the standard immigration card on the plane or at the border. No pre-registration needed.
The local currency is the Honduran lempira (HNL). US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas, but you'll get change in lempiras. ATMs are common in cities. Credit cards work in hotels and nicer restaurants.
Technically, the visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and transit. Remote work for a foreign employer is usually tolerated, but it's a gray area. If you plan to work for a Honduran company, you need a work visa.
