South Korea to Honduras visa requirements

South Korean ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for short tourist visits to Honduras. They may enter visa-free for up to 90 days within the CA-4 region (Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua combined). As of 2026, holders of an ordinary Republic of Korea (South Korea) passport can travel to Honduras for tourism or short visits without a visa. Honduras grants visa-free entry for up to 90 days, a status confirmed both by the official visa policy of Honduras and by the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Honduras (MOFA). Honduras is not in the Schengen area; it is a Central American country and a member of the CA-4 Border Control Agreement together with Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. This means the 90-day visa-free period is counted cumulatively across all four CA-4 countries rather than reset at each border, so time spent in any combination of these nations counts toward the same 90-day allowance. Travelers should hold a passport valid for the duration of stay (at least 3-6 months recommended beyond entry), carry proof of onward or return travel and sufficient funds, and complete the Honduran online pre-arrival customs/migration declaration. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required only if arriving from or transiting a country with yellow fever transmission risk. Extensions beyond the initial period are possible at the Honduran immigration authority (Instituto Nacional de Migracion) within the country, subject to a fee, up to the CA-4 maximum. No advance application, eVisa, ETA, or visa-on-arrival process is needed for the standard short tourist stay.
