Mozambican passport holders need a visa to enter Honduras. You must apply at a Honduran embassy or consulate before you travel — there is no visa on arrival or e-visa option for MZ passport holders as of 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Visa required | Apply for a visa at the Honduran embassy or consulate before travel. The official immigration portal is at ins.gob.hn, but visa applications are handled by consulates, not online. Expect to submit a passport, photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, and bank statements. Processing takes 5–10 business days.Honduras Migration Institute | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Honduras. No 6-month validity rule applies for Honduran entry, but airlines may enforce it — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or ticket to a third country ready. Airlines also check this at check-in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Hotel bookings or a letter of invitation from your host in Honduras can speed up immigration. Officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Carry bank statements or a credit card showing you can support yourself. There's no fixed minimum, but having around $500 USD equivalent for a short trip is a safe bet. | Recommended |
No e-visa or visa on arrival
Mozambican passport holders cannot get a Honduran visa online or at the airport. You must apply at an embassy in advance. Plan accordingly.
Embassy contact first
Embassy requirements can change. Always call or email the Honduran embassy in Pretoria or the consulate in Maputo before submitting your application to confirm current fees, photo specs, and processing times.
