Apply for a visa at the Honduran embassy
Contact the Honduran Embassy in New Delhi (or the consulate in Mumbai) to schedule an appointment. Submit the completed application form, passport, photos, flight itinerary, hotel bookings, bank statements, and a cover letter. Pay the visa fee (around $30–$50, subject to change). Wait 5–15 working days for processing.

Fly into Toncontín International Airport (TGU) in Tegucigalpa or Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport (SAP) in San Pedro Sula. At immigration, present your passport with the visa sticker, return ticket, and hotel booking. You'll get a stamp allowing stay up to the visa's validity (usually 30 days).

Frequently asked questions
No. There is no visa-on-arrival for Indian nationals. You must obtain a visa from a Honduran embassy or consulate before you travel.
Processing usually takes 5–15 working days after you submit your application. It's best to apply at least 3–4 weeks before your planned departure.
You'll need a completed application form, your passport (valid 6+ months, with at least one blank page), two passport-size photos, flight itinerary, hotel bookings, bank statements for the last 3–6 months, and a cover letter explaining your trip. The embassy may ask for additional documents.
The visa fee is typically around $30–$50, but this can change. Check with the Honduran Embassy in New Delhi for the current fee.
Extensions are not generally available for tourist visa holders. You would need to leave the country before your visa expires and reapply if you want to return.
Honduras does not require yellow fever vaccination for travellers from India unless you are arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Check with your doctor for routine vaccines.
Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and a ban on re-entry. Always leave before your visa expires.
