Do Germany passport holders need a visa to visit HN?

German ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Honduras. You may stay visa-free for up to 90 days, granted at the port of entry. Note this 90-day allowance is shared across the CA-4 region (Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua). As of 31 May 2026, Germany is on Honduras's visa-exemption list (all EU member states are exempt), so a German ordinary passport holder can travel to Honduras for tourism without applying for a visa in advance. The immigration officer at the first point of entry grants a stay of up to 90 days. Crucially, Honduras is part of the Central America-4 (CA-4) Border Control Agreement together with Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua: the 90-day allowance is cumulative across all four countries, not 90 days per country. To extend beyond 90 days within the CA-4 zone you must apply to the Honduran immigration authority (Instituto Nacional de Migracion) or physically leave the CA-4 area. Entry conditions are a passport valid for the duration of stay (at least three months is the legal minimum; six months is recommended for safety margin and is required under some carrier rules), at least one blank page for the entry stamp, and proof of onward/return travel. There is no advance visa fee. Travelers should budget for a small entry/tourist fee and, when departing by air, an airport departure tax that is usually already included in the airfare. Overstaying triggers fines payable on exit. Honduras is NOT in the Schengen area and ETIAS does not apply to entering Honduras (ETIAS is a separate, future EU system that will affect visa-exempt non-EU travelers entering the Schengen area, not Germans leaving it).
