Honduras Beach Holidays

You must have a visa to visit Honduras, unless you are a cruise ship passenger disembarking only during the ship's docking hours.

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after you arrive and have at least 2 blank pages.

You will receive a 30-day entry stamp in your passport on arrival, and you must ensure you get this stamp to avoid a fine.

You can apply to extend your stay at an immigration office, as overstaying may result in a fine you must pay before leaving.

You must complete the online customs declaration form before entering or leaving and present the QR code to customs.

If you arrive or depart by land, you must pay a 3 US dollar border fee and keep the receipt.

Travellers aged 20 and under travelling alone or with only one parent need a notarised parental letter in Spanish.

Always carry photo ID and a copy of your passport, as authorities may stop you to check your travel documents.

Avoid walking around main towns and cities and be particularly careful of petty theft at bus stations, airports, beaches, and tourist sites.

Withdraw money from ATMs in shopping centres and avoid using them at night, checking for any signs of tampering.

Use radio-dispatched or hotel taxis for short trips and avoid travelling on public buses due to the risk of violent attacks.

Do not participate in any protests or political activities, as this is illegal for foreigners and may lead to detention and deportation.

It is safer to travel on main roads between major cities and avoid driving at night, as many vehicles travel without lights and animals wander onto roads.

Same-sex couples should avoid showing affection in public outside the capital Tegucigalpa due to more conservative local attitudes.
