A Honduran national visa grants a stay of up to three months. You can extend this visa for up to 30 additional days, for a maximum total stay of 120 consecutive days. For stays exceeding 90 days, you'll need to apply for a residence permit.

This visa caters to a diverse range of needs. The following are the standard categories available:
