Visa required — apply well in advance
There is no visa on arrival or e-visa for Vietnamese passport holders. You must get a visa from a Honduran embassy before you travel. Start the process at least 4–6 weeks ahead.
Passport validity counts from entry, not departure
Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the day you land in Honduras, not from when you leave. If it expires sooner, renew it before applying for the visa.
