United Arab Emirates to Honduras visa requirements

UAE ordinary passport holders can visit Honduras visa-free for tourism for 90 days, with a Honduran immigration extension route to complete up to 120 days in Honduras or the CA-4 region. UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs sources confirm that UAE nationals, including normal passport holders, are visa-free for Honduras. The 2018 MoU took effect on 25 May 2018 and allows entry without prior visa arrangements for 90 days per visit; the current UAE travel-requirements page for Honduras lists normal passports as Visa Free and says tourism stays are 90 days, with the possibility of a further 30-day extension. The Honduras National Immigration Institute (INM) extension page says non-resident foreigners may request an extension of the authorized stay until completing 120 days in the CA-4 region (Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua), paying the equivalent of USD 20 for each extended month, and that after 120 days they must regularize status or leave the CA-4 region. UAE MoFA and U.S. State guidance both use a six-month passport validity benchmark; U.S. State also lists one blank page and onward travel. Honduras has an online Prechequeo Migratorio preregistration service for nationals and foreigners. Yellow fever proof is not a routine UAE-origin requirement, but U.S. State and CDC guidance say Honduras requires proof for travellers arriving from or transiting through yellow-fever-risk countries, with U.S. State specifically warning about Panama and South America.
