Bank deposit visa

This route grants residency to people who place a fixed deposit of $50,000 in a Honduran bank. Unlike the income-based categories, it qualifies you on the strength of an asset — the deposit — rather than a recurring monthly income.

How it works

You qualify by placing a fixed deposit of $50,000 in a Honduran bank. The capital is expected to stay deposited — this is not a one-time fee but committed funds that remain in place, which is the core condition that keeps the residency valid.

Asset-based, not income-based

The bank-deposit route is defined by an asset rather than by monthly cash flow. That makes it different from Rentista (foreign income) and Pensionado (a pension): you are not proving what you earn each month, you are showing that a set amount of capital sits in a Honduran account.

Is it the right route?

Whether tying up $50,000 makes sense depends on your assets and goals versus proving income or making a business investment. To compare the routes, try the eligibility quiz, and see the full set on the category landing page.
