Residency & Visas

Honduras's five residency categories, work permits, the real timelines, and the path to citizenship — explained neutrally, not as a relocation consultancy's marketing.

Tourist visa rules

The 90 days are discretionary, not guaranteed — and why visa runs often fail.

Which residency fits me?

A short quiz keyed to your income source and amount to point you at a category.

Rentista visa

Residency through foreign income of at least $2,500 per month.

Pensionado visa

Residency through a pension of at least $1,500 per month.

Investor visa

Residency through a capital investment in Honduras.

Bank deposit visa

Residency through a $50,000 fixed deposit in a Honduran bank.

Corporate visa

Residency through forming a Honduran company or a corporate transfer.

Work permits & remote work

A tourist visa never grants the right to work — and the remote-work gray zone.

How long residency takes

Processing can take 9+ months, far longer than most applicants assume.

Path to citizenship

Naturalization after 3 or 5 years; dual citizenship is permitted.
