Honduras travel guide

Overview

Travel tip

It’s advisable to have local currency ready for your travels.

Before you go

Many tourists, including Korean passport holders, can usually stay in Honduras visa-free for around 90 days, but the exact stay and visa requirement depend on nationality. Honduras is not a country that typically requires a separate pre-travel authorization such as the US ESTA or Korea’s K-ETA, and it generally does not use a pre-arrival declaration system like Japan’s Visit Japan Web or Singapore’s SG Arrival Card. Keep your passport, onward or return ticket, and accommodation details ready, and check with your airline or airport for any paper arrival-card requirement.

Entry procedure

1. Prepare documents

   Have your passport, onward or return ticket, and accommodation address ready to show. The permitted stay and visa requirement can vary by nationality, so follow airline instructions and local immigration officers’ directions.

2. Go through immigration

   Present your passport at the immigration counter and briefly state the purpose of your visit. You may be asked for fingerprints or a facial photo, so cooperate with the officer’s instructions.

3. Check your stay allowance

   After receiving your entry stamp, confirm the permitted length of stay and any entry conditions. To avoid overstaying, check the stamp or any separate instructions right away.

Exit procedure

1. Check restricted items

   Before departure, check whether you are carrying restricted items such as food, plants, or animal products. It is safest to sort out anything that could cause issues with customs or quarantine in advance.

2. Clear departure control

   At the airport, present your passport and boarding pass for departure control. Honduras does not usually have a standout on-the-spot departure tax payment step, but check whether taxes are included in your ticket and follow your airline’s instructions.
