About Honduras

- Immigration laws in Honduras provide several options for foreign nationals seeking to travel to the country for business or work.
- Visa-exempt nationals can travel to Honduras without an entry visa and stay for up to 90 days. Depending on the country of citizenship, visa nationals entering Honduras for business visits must obtain either a Consular Visa (Visa Consular) or a Consulted Visa (Visa Consultada). Both types of visas are filed at a Honduran consular post; however, the National Immigration Institute in Honduras (per the visa regime approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) must issue its authorization before the Honduran consular post can issue a Consulted Visa. Foreign nationals who usually require a Consular Visa but whose passport is stamped with a United States, Canadian, or Schengen visa valid for at least six months are visa-exempt.
- Both visa-exempt and visa nationals can apply to extend their business stay in Honduras for up to 30 additional days for a total of 120 consecutive days; however, foreign nationals who make multiple visits to Honduras for separate business visits are allowed a maximum cumulative stay of 180 days within a 365-day period.
- Foreign nationals generally can perform work activities without work authorization if their intended stay is under 90 days and they do not receive remuneration or payments from a Honduran source. Foreign nationals who engage in remunerated work activities in Honduras must obtain a Special Stay Permit with Work Contract. The Special Stay Permit is valid for a minimum of one year and may be issued for up to five years at the authorities’ discretion. Foreign nationals who have held a Special Stay Permit for five years may apply for permanent residence.
Fragomen can also consult on citizenship matters and, as permitted within the confines of local law, may be able to offer citizenship assistance.
