- Who it's for
- Everyone entering or leaving Honduras, Hondurans and foreign travelers alike. Nicaraguan citizens additionally complete the immigration pre-check on the government's separate portal.
- Entry and exit are separate
- One submission covers a single crossing. The form asks whether the operation is an entry or an exit, so a round trip means filing twice.
- Families
- The declaration is addressed to the traveler or the head of the family, who files once for the whole group and states how many family members are traveling. Minors are covered that way, with a checkbox for a minor traveling under a special authorization.
- How you travel
- Air, land and sea are all in scope, and the customs office list changes with the mode you pick. Travelers in international transit who never clear Honduran immigration or customs do not need it.
- Delivery format
- An email confirmation with a QR code. There is no physical document, and you show it digitally to immigration and customs.
- Validity
- Valid for 30 days
- Entry
- Single entry
- Length of stay
- Stay up to 90 days per entry
- Processing time
- Get it in as fast as 15 minutes

I received my completed visa in time for my trip. The chat line was helpful to resolve last minute questions I had about the email address listed on the visa different than my actual email. This was explained to me via chat line. Thanks
The application was fast and straightforward. Easy to understand. However, I did not know that I should not have make the request too early as I have to wait almost a month for the visa to process because of my date of travel.
IVisa did exactly as they said. They told me that my information would be ready before I left and it was. When I was away from my personal printer to print out my document they made it able to share with someone who could.
Service was easy to use and documents came earlier than the time frame committed
The iVisa website was easy to navigate and the completed forms were returned to me within two hours. The country's free site was impenetrable and difficult to use. I finally gave up and used iVisa. Do not take a risk with the forms that must be properly completed.
The biggest benefit is not having to go through the government site for my pre-check. Customer support was prompt but had a hard time understanding my questions and giving me answers.
Very easy to navigate and my documents were done well in advance of my travel date.
Timely and secure - traveling with confidence that I have all the correct documents!
Their online system made some errors at the moment, but operator on messenger was super supportive and even I sent him/her photos from my phone to messenger they were able to put it all together step by step.
For people not having good computer skills your site is a nightmare! It took me 4 days at about 6 hours a day to get the information done correctly! The photos were the hardest. It should be a lot easier to complete. It took until 8pm the night before my flight to get it accepted. Something should be done to make it easier.
Honduras visa FAQs
Quick answers to the most common questions about the Honduras Traveler Declaration.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a Honduras Traveler Declaration if I already have a visa?
Yes, you still need it. Even if you already have a physical or electronic visa (like a tourist, business, or student visa) to enter Honduras, the Traveler Declaration is a separate entry requirement. A visa gives you permission to enter the country, but the Traveler Declaration (specifically the Electronic Customs Declaration) is a mandatory security and customs protocol for everyone crossing the border.
Is the Honduras Immigration Pre-check (Prechequeo) still mandatory?
As of December 12, 2023, the Honduran government removed the mandatory Pre-check for most nationalities. Currently, it is only mandatory for Nicaraguan citizens, who must complete it at least 7 days before travel. However, all travelers must still complete the Electronic Customs Declaration (Traveler Declaration).
How will I receive the Honduras Traveler Declaration?
You will receive a confirmation document containing a QR code via email. Important: You should keep a digital copy on your phone, but it is highly recommended to have a printed copy available, as some border points or airlines may require a physical version for scanning. You can find a digital version in your iVisa dashboard, if you’ve applied through us.
How long can I stay in Honduras?
For most visa-exempt nationalities (like the US, Canada, and EU citizens), you are typically granted a stay of up to 90 days upon arrival. Honduras is part of the CA-4 Border Control Agreement. This means your 90-day limit is shared across El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. The exact duration of your stay is always at the discretion of the immigration officer.
Do children/minors need a Honduras Traveler Declaration?
Yes. Every traveler must be included. For families, the "Head of Household" can often complete a single Customs Declaration for the entire group, but individual immigration records may still be required. If traveling with minors, ensure you have the necessary notarized permission letters if one or both parents are not present. You can use iVisa’s "Add another person" feature to easily manage applications for the whole family in one session, saving time and effort.
When should I fill out the Honduras Electronic Customs Declaration?
The Electronic Customs Declaration should be completed within 5 days prior to your arrival in or departure from Honduras. iVisa lets you fill out your form early, so you can have peace of mind in advance. We’ll submit your info to the government as soon as the window opens.
Can I extend my stay in Honduras?
Yes. You can generally apply for a one-time extension of an additional 90 days at the National Institute of Migration (INM) offices within Honduras. You must do this before your initial 90-day period expires.
