Do United Kingdom passport holders need a visa to visit HN?

UK ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Honduras for tourism. The previous visa exemption was cancelled on 15 August 2024, so British nationals must now obtain a consular visa in advance from the Honduran Embassy in London before travelling. As of 30 May 2026, British (GB) ordinary passport holders require a visa to visit Honduras for tourism or any short stay. This is a recent change: Honduras cancelled its visa exemption for UK nationals on 15 August 2024, ending the long-standing arrangement that previously allowed British citizens to enter visa-free (or via a valid US/Canada/Schengen visa). There is currently no eVisa, visa-on-arrival, or ETA channel for British tourists. The visa is a consular (sticker/stamp) visa that must be applied for in person at the Embassy of Honduras in London, where an interview takes place and the applicant must submit their physical passport for stamping. Tourist visas are generally issued as single-entry (US$30) or multiple-entry (US$60), with the visa itself typically valid for up to 90 days; on arrival, travellers usually receive an initial 30-day entry stamp that can be extended at a Honduran immigration office. Passports should be valid for at least 6 months beyond arrival with at least 2 blank pages. Separately, all travellers must complete the Honduran online customs declaration form and present the resulting QR code at the border. Note that Honduras is part of the CA-4 agreement (with Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua), but this regional waiver does not benefit UK nationals. Because the embassy requires in-person applications and third-party visa agencies cannot process this route, plan to apply 1-2 months ahead of travel. Sources conflict slightly on visa validity vs. the on-arrival stamp length, so travellers should confirm exact terms directly with the embassy at the time of application.
