Thailand to Honduras visa requirements

Yes — a Thai ordinary passport holder needs a visa to enter Honduras. Thailand is not on Honduras's visa-exemption list, so a consular tourist visa must be obtained in advance from a Honduran diplomatic mission before travel. (Diplomatic and official Thai passports are exempt, but ordinary passports are not.) Honduras maintains a list of roughly 84 visa-exempt jurisdictions, and Thailand is not among them. Holders of Thai ordinary (tourist) passports therefore require a visa to enter Honduras for tourism. Only Thai diplomatic, official and service passport holders are visa-exempt — ordinary passport travelers must apply at a Honduran embassy or consulate before departure. Honduras has no resident embassy in Thailand, so applications are handled through the nearest accredited Honduran mission (commonly the embassy covering the region, with Honduran missions in Asia and the Middle East, or via consular channels). Once issued, the entry permission and Honduras's tourist stay fall under the Central America-4 (CA-4) Border Control Agreement shared with Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua: tourists are admitted for up to 90 days, with the clock running across the combined CA-4 territory; a 30-day extension can be requested from the immigration office in Tegucigalpa for about US$20. Honduras is not in the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Passports should be valid (at least three to six months recommended) with onward/return tickets and proof of funds. Because no reliable no-visa channel exists for Thai ordinary passports and sources do not confirm visa-on-arrival eligibility for Thailand, the conservative and correct verdict is visa-required.
