Honduras is a Central American country known for the Bay Islands (Roatán, Utila, Guanaja) - world-class diving and snorkeling destinations on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef (world's second-largest). Tegucigalpa is the capital. Honduras features Mayan ruins, Caribbean beaches, cloud forests, and colonial towns. Visitors are drawn to Roatán diving and beaches, Utila budget diving and whale sharks, Copán Mayan ruins (UNESCO site), colonial Gracias, Pico Bonito National Park rainforest, Lake Yojoa, La Tigra cloud forest, and Caribbean Garifuna culture. The Bay Islands attract divers worldwide for affordable PADI certification and pristine coral reefs. Honduras offers adventure, archaeology, and Caribbean island life at budget-friendly prices.

Visa Requirements for Honduras

Honduras allows visa-free entry for citizens of many countries including the United States, Canada, all EU member states, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan for tourism or business stays up to 90 days. Honduras is part of the CA-4 Border Control Agreement with Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, allowing free movement between these four countries within the 90-day limit (the 90 days apply collectively across all four CA-4 countries, not per country). Visitors from countries requiring visas must apply through Honduran consulates or embassies. Extensions beyond 90 days can be obtained through immigration offices. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months from entry date.
