Passport Notes

Honduras is party to the Central America Border Control Agreement (CA-4). Under the terms of this agreement, tourists may travel within any of the CA-4 countries (Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala) for a period of up to 90 days, without completing entry and exit formalities at border immigration checkpoints. This period begins at the first point of entry in to any of the CA-4 countries. Fines are applied for travelers who exceed this 90-day limit, although a request for a 30-day extension can be made before the 90 days limit expires.

Visas

Not required by all nationals referred to in the chart above for stays of up to 90 days.

Note: Nationals not referred to in the chart above are advised to contact the embassy to check visa requirements (see Important Addresses).

Travel Warnings

As a result of recent political events, there remains a risk of short-notice public demonstrations in Honduras. Travelers to Honduras are advised to exercise a high degree of caution and to stay away from large gatherings and places of public protest.

There is no British Embassy in Honduras. For emergency consular assistance, contact the Honorary Consuls in Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula or Roatan, or the British Embassy in Guatemala City.

It is recommended that any UK national who is resident, working in or visiting Honduras should register with the British Embassy in Guatemala City or contact one of our three Honorary Consulars in Honduras.

The hurricane season in Honduras normally runs from June to November.

There are high levels of crime in Honduras. Particular care should be taken if traveling between towns/cities and walking on beaches or in quieter areas at night. Do not display items of value such as cameras, MP3 players and mobile phones.

There is a low threat from terrorism. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be in public areas, including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travelers.
