Honduras digital nomad visa & residency (2026)

Honduras has not enacted a specific digital nomad or remote-work visa. As of May 2026 no such programme has been officially proposed or legislated.

Foreign nationals with stable passive or investment income from abroad of at least USD 2,500/month qualify for Rentista residency under article 21 of the Migration and Aliens Law. Under Ministerial Agreement 374-2025, applicants who cannot fully meet the threshold may qualify if they demonstrate at least 50% of the required amount (USD 1,250/month minimum).

Retirees or those receiving a regular pension from abroad of at least USD 1,500/month qualify for Pensionado residency. Agreement 374-2025 reduced the effective minimum to USD 750/month for applicants who fall short of the full threshold.

Ministerial Agreement No. 374-2025 (in force 29 July 2025) operationalises article 21(8) of the Migration and Aliens Law, creating a residency pathway for exceptional circumstances including humanitarian grounds, special family ties, public interest, or other situations not covered by standard categories, requiring at least 120 days of continuous lawful presence.

Citizens of the US, Canada, the EU, and many other countries enter visa-free for up to 90 days under the Central America-4 (CA-4) Agreement with Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. This permits short-term remote work stays but confers no right to earn Honduran-source income.

The Próspera ZEDE on Roatán offers its own e-Residency (USD 130/year) and Full Residency within the zone. Honduras's Supreme Court declared the ZEDE framework unconstitutional in 2024, but the three existing ZEDEs retain legal stability agreements grandfathering them for 50 years per Dentons analysis (October 2025). This path is legally uncertain and does not confer standard Honduran national residency.
