Do France passport holders need a visa to visit HN?
French passport holders do not need a visa for tourism in Honduras. They may stay visa-free for up to 90 days, which counts toward total time spent in the CA-4 region (Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua). As of May 2026, France ordinary passport holders enjoy visa-free entry to Honduras for tourism and short visits. As an EU member state, France is on Honduras's visa-exemption list, and travelers receive a stamp on arrival permitting a stay of up to 90 days. Honduras is part of the Central America-4 (CA-4) Border Control Agreement with Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua, so the 90-day allowance applies to the cumulative time spent across all four CA-4 countries, not 90 days per country. To enter, French nationals need a passport valid for at least three months beyond arrival, evidence of onward or return travel, and sufficient funds. No visa fee applies because entry is visa-exempt. Travelers wishing to remain beyond 90 days must request an extension (prorroga) from the Honduran immigration authority (Instituto Nacional de Migracion) or leave the CA-4 zone. Honduras is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen and ETIAS rules are not relevant to this route. Always confirm current rules before departure, as immigration officers determine the final length of stay granted.
