Tanzanian passport holders need a visa to enter Honduras. You must apply at a Honduran embassy or consulate before you travel — there is no visa on arrival or e-visa option for Tanzanian citizens as of 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Visa required | Apply for a visa at the Honduran embassy or consulate before travel. The National Migration Institute (INS) handles immigration policy, but visa applications go through diplomatic missions. Contact the nearest Honduran embassy for application forms and fee details.Check INS requirements | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond departure | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your departure date from Honduras. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers ask for proof of onward travel — a return flight or ticket to a third country. Have a printed or digital copy ready. Airlines also verify this before issuing a boarding pass. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Hotel bookings or a letter of invitation from a host can speed up immigration. Officers may ask where you are staying — have the address and contact details ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Carry bank statements, credit cards, or cash to show you can support yourself during your stay. There is no fixed minimum amount, but having $500–$1,000 USD equivalent helps avoid questions. | Recommended |
No visa on arrival or e-visa
Tanzanian passport holders cannot get a visa at the airport or online. You must apply at a Honduran embassy or consulate before you travel. Plan ahead — processing can take weeks.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Honduras, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it first.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa at a Honduran embassy
Contact the Honduran embassy or consulate in your region (e.g., in Nairobi, Kenya, or Washington D.C., USA). Submit the application form, passport, photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, and proof of funds. Pay the visa fee (varies by embassy, typically $30–$50). Wait for processing — allow at least 2–4 weeks.
2
Pack your documents
Before you leave, print or save digital copies of your approved visa, passport, return ticket, hotel booking, and insurance. Keep them in your carry-on, not checked luggage.
3
Arrive at a Honduran airport
You'll likely fly into Toncontín International Airport (TGU) in Tegucigalpa or Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport (SAP) in San Pedro Sula. Go to the immigration queue for foreign visitors.
4
Present documents to immigration officer
Hand over your passport with the visa sticker, return ticket, and hotel booking. The officer may ask about your purpose of visit and length of stay. Answer clearly and briefly. They'll stamp your passport — check the stamp says the correct number of days allowed.
5
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. Declare any items over $500 or restricted goods. Exit into the arrivals hall.

Frequently asked questions
No. Honduras does not offer visa on arrival for Tanzanian citizens. You must obtain a visa from a Honduran embassy or consulate before you travel.
Processing typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, but can vary by embassy. Apply at least a month before your planned departure to be safe.
Visa fees vary by embassy but are usually between $30 and $50 USD. Check with the specific embassy or consulate where you apply for the exact amount.
You'll need a completed application form, a passport valid for 6+ months, passport-sized photos, a return flight booking, hotel reservation, proof of sufficient funds (bank statements or cash), and sometimes a letter of employment or invitation.
Extensions are not available for tourist visa holders. You must leave before your visa expires or apply for a different visa type from within Honduras, which is rarely granted.
Honduras does not require yellow fever vaccination for travellers from Tanzania. However, check current health advisories as requirements can change.
Overstaying can result in fines (around $50–$100 USD) and potential difficulties when leaving or re-entering. It's best to leave on time.
