Do Australians need a visa for Honduras?
We quote the official text word for word and do not summarise it. The first official sentence does not match a wording we summarise.
Official text, “Visas and border measures”:
Each country or territory decides its own entry and exit rules, including health border screening measures. To find out what you need to enter a destination, ask their embassy, consulate or immigration office.
Visas
Australian passport holders with more than 6 months’ validity do not need a visa to enter Honduras.
For further information on entry requirements, contact the National Migration Institute via the WhatsApp phone number for migration related enquiries +50488406974.
Honduras is a member country to the Central American Border Control Agreement (CA-4), along with:
- El Salvador
- Guatemala
- Nicaragua
With a CA-4 tourist visa, you can travel freely by land between member countries within the 90-day period.
Your tourist card is dated from the first point of entry in any member country.
You can apply to extend the CA-4 visa before it expires at the National Institute of Migration (Spanish).
If you're not a tourist or you plan to stay longer, you'll need a visa.
Entry and exit conditions can change. Contact an embassy or consulate of Honduras for details about visas, currency, customs and quarantine rules. The Australian Government cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet your destination’s entry or exit requirements.
Border measures
Make sure your passport is stamped on entry to Honduras. You may face a fine and delays if you fail to present an entry-stamped passport when departing Honduras.
On arrival and departure, you need to complete a pre-check form online at the Honduran National Institute of Migration website (available in English). You'll need to print out the confirmation email to present at the airport.
Travel via the United States
If you're travelling through the US, ensure you meet all current US entry or transit requirements, including if you are transiting through Hawaii.
Travel via Canada
If you're travelling via Canada, ensure you meet all entry and transit requirements.
Also in the official “Travel” section:
Other formalities
Travel with children
Children aged under 21 travelling to or from Honduras alone or with only one parent or guardian must have permission from both legal guardians. They'll need a notarised letter of consent that meets language (Spanish) and other requirements.
Contact an embassy or consulate of Honduras for details.

Advice for people travelling with children
Airport service fees
Before you fly out of Honduras, you must pay an airport service fee if you're aged over 12.
Your ticket may include the service fee. If it doesn't, you'll need to pay at the airport with US dollars or local currency.
Yellow fever
If you arrive from a country where yellow fever is a risk, you'll need a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate to enter Honduras. Some airlines may want to see one when you leave.

How long must my Australian passport be valid for Honduras?
We quote the official text word for word and do not summarise it. The official sentence does not match a wording we summarise.
Official text, “Passport”:
Validity
Many countries require your passport to be valid for at least 6 months before entering or departing. This includes for transit.
If your passport expires too soon, you might not be able to travel.
The Australian Government doesn’t make these rules. Check your passport’s expiry date before you go. If you’re not sure, it’s a good idea to get a new passport.
