Visa required — apply well in advance
There is no visa on arrival or e-visa for Vietnamese passport holders. You must get a visa from a Honduran embassy before you travel. Start the process at least 4–6 weeks ahead.
Passport validity counts from entry, not departure
Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the day you land in Honduras, not from when you leave. If it expires sooner, renew it before applying for the visa.

Apply for a visa at a Honduran embassy
Contact the Honduran embassy or consulate in your region (e.g., in Bangkok, Tokyo, or Washington D.C.). Submit the application form, passport, photo, and fee. Processing takes 2–4 weeks, so plan ahead.
