Honduras: visa and entry rules
What you need to get in, how long you may stay, and what an overstay costs
Honduras's borders: every crossing point
Other 5
Honduras's land border crossings, listed by neighbour:
With Guatemala: El Florido by Copan, Agua Caliente, Corinto towards the Caribbean.
With El Salvador: El Amatillo, El Poy.
With Nicaragua: Guasaule on the Pacific side, Las Manos and El Espino in the mountains.
All three borders are internal to the CA-4 zone, and moving between these countries does not reset the day count.
Guasaule is the busiest crossing on the way from Nicaragua.
By sea there are the ports of Puerto Cortes and La Ceiba, with ferries from there to Roatan and Utila.
Driving to Honduras
Land routes are open with every neighbour.
Temporary import is processed at the border, and a note is entered in your documents.
You will be told how long the car may stay in the country when you bring it into Honduras. Check with customs beforehand: the periods get revised.
Insurance has to be bought locally.
An International Driving Permit is required.
Processing at the crossings is slow, so it is better to arrive at the border with time to spare.
Travelling to Honduras with a pet
An import permit is required, arranged in advance with the veterinary service.
A rabies vaccination must be valid on the date of entry.
An international veterinary certificate is required, endorsed by the state veterinary service of the country you are leaving.
Check the vaccinations, the microchip and quarantine for import into Honduras before you buy tickets. An incomplete set means a refusal at the check-in desk, not at the border.
Overstaying your visa in Honduras
A fine is charged for exceeding your permitted stay and is paid on departure.
The fine is calculated on departure, and you will learn the figure at passport control. You cannot find it out in advance in Honduras: the tariffs are revised and the reference sources disagree. Allow for cash and time.
Extensions are arranged at the immigration service before your stay expires, not after.
A serious overstay means deportation and an entry ban.
You have to count the whole CA-4 zone.
What else to check before you go
更新日
Entry rules change faster than anything else on this site, and they change without notice. We cross-check every page against several sources and state the date it was verified, but that does not replace the main step: before you travel, check an official source — the country’s consulate, its immigration service or its e-visa portal. Especially if more than a couple of months have passed since our check.
