Visa required — apply well in advance
Hong Kong passport holders cannot enter Honduras without a pre-approved visa. There is no visa on arrival or e-visa. Start the application process at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to avoid delays.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Honduras, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it before applying for the visa.
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 Tokyo, Washington DC, or London). Submit the completed application form, your passport, photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, and any other requested documents. Pay the visa fee (typically around $30–$50 USD). Processing takes 5–15 business days.
2
Wait for visa approval
Once submitted, the embassy will process your application. You may be asked for an interview. After approval, you'll receive a visa sticker in your passport. Check the validity dates — it's usually valid for 90 days from issue.
3
Arrive in Honduras
At the airport (most likely Toncontín International in Tegucigalpa or Ramón Villeda Morales in San Pedro Sula), join the immigration queue. Present your passport with the visa, your return ticket, and accommodation proof. The officer may ask about your plans — answer briefly and honestly.
4
Receive entry stamp
The immigration officer will stamp your passport with the date of entry and the allowed stay (usually up to 90 days). Keep the stamp visible — you'll need it when you leave.
