Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Danish passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Honduras. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Honduran immigration, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Honduras | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight out of Honduras ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. Officers occasionally ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or credit card ready to show you have enough money for your stay. No fixed amount is published, but a few hundred US dollars in cash or a card with a decent limit covers the typical check. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity at check-in. If you have less than 6 months left, you may be denied boarding even if you're already at the airport.
Keep a copy of your documents
Save digital copies of your passport, return ticket, and accommodation booking on your phone or in the cloud. If you lose your passport, these make replacement much easier.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at immigration counter
At any Honduran airport (e.g., Toncontín in Tegucigalpa or Ramón Villeda Morales in San Pedro Sula), join the foreign passport queue. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation booking. Answer clearly and politely.
3
Get stamped in
The officer will stamp your passport with a 90-day entry. Check the stamp before walking away — confirm the number of days is correct.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually no customs declaration form unless you're carrying large amounts of cash or restricted goods.
