Honduras Golden Visa

Honduras does not operate a conventional passive Golden Visa. However, foreign nationals may obtain residence through its Investor Visa by investing at least US$50,000 in a qualifying economic activity. Investors seeking permanent residence through a more established property investment route in Central America may prefer the Panama Qualified Investor Visa, available through qualifying real estate from US$300,000.

Honduras Investor Visa

The Honduras Investor Visa requires an investment of at least US$50,000 in a registered Honduran business, government securities or qualifying investments. The business route is more involved than a passive Golden Visa. Applicants must establish or invest in a local company, obtain a business operating licence (renewed annually) and provide evidence that the qualifying capital has been committed to the business. A feasibility study and US$5,000 Central Bank deposit guarantee are also required.
