Immigration and Health Insurance Requirements in Honduras

Immigration Requirements

Obtaining a residency permit in Honduras is a relatively simple process, but all applicants must be represented by an attorney registered with the national bar association in Honduras, who will ensure that all paperwork is submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a timely manner.

 

One option is for individuals to apply for a residency as a “Pensioner” or a retiree, with verifiable proof of monthly income of $1,500. from Social Security or pension benefits.

 

The other option is as a "Rentista" which requires proof of monthly income of at least $2,500. from investments, such as a rental property.

Health Insurance Requirements in Honduras

Health insurance is not mandatory in Honduras, but the government strongly recommends that all residents have international health insurance priced in USD or EUR to guard against rampant inflation and ensure access to local medical care.

 

State Health Insurance System in Honduras

By most reports, the public healthcare system in Honduras has been at best, very unstable and unreliable. At worse, in a state of near collapse with some public hospitals only offering limited emergency care.
 

Therefore, those traveling to Honduras must take precautionary steps before departure steps to secure access to healthcare both in Honduras and outside Honduras as well.
